The Vows of a Loyal Heart 🐾

You wait beside the threshold, a soul of silent grace,

No fickle change of temper clouds your ever-trusting face.

A shadow by my heels, a vow that time cannot unbind,

The purest, steadfast friendship that the human heart can find.

When the day's long road is heavy and the worldly light grows dim,

Your eager, tail-wagged welcome is the solace of a hymn.

You ask no gilded token, no promise whispered low,

Just silent, gentle presence, where true, deep affections flow.
