Love knows not it’s own depth until the hour of separation:
I hurt and you are there to comfort me.
I whine and you are there to hold me.
I don’t like when you are gone, but you always come home for me.
You can find me in the same spot I was when you left, waiting.
Waiting for you to come home to be with me.
Your voice I recognize, your touch I can’t ignore.
You hold me gently while you drop medicine in my eyes and give me my pill.
You soften my food and feed me,
cleaning my face and giving me a bath if I need.
You are the one who is patient when I don’t make it to the place I’m supposed to pee.
You lay with me while you do your homework or watch TV,
These are the moments I love.
I’m yours forever.
You leave me to get ready for bed,
but you always come back for me.
Cradling my body and head you carry me down the stairs,
Careful not to slip and fall with me in your arms.
You set me down gently on my spot and tuck in beside me,
Your hands slowly massaging my sore body until you are sure I have fallen asleep.
You lay down your head and cry.
I’m not asleep,
just silently resting my eyes as you speak.
I move in closer so that I may catch your tears.
Don’t be sad, I’ll always be here.
Don’t you know good dogs never die,
They stay.
. . .
You hurt and I am there to comfort you.
You cry and I am there to hold you.
You don’t like when I’m gone, but I always come home to you.
You can find me in the same spot I was before I left, waiting.
Waiting for you to come home so I can comfort you.
Your voice I recognize, I still hear you.
I’m the one who is patient when you make mistakes or you don’t believe I’m here.
I lay with you while you do your homework or watch TV,
These are still the moments I love.
I’m yours forever.
I follow you as you get ready for bed and then finally tuck in.
You lay your head down and cry.
I’m not gone,
I’m just watching silently as you speak.
I move in closer so that I may catch your tears.
You shiver when I touch you,
Unaware that my touch is the cause of your repeated shivers.
Don’t be sad, I’ll always be here.
Don’t you know good dogs never die,
They stay.
