There is something about me that not many people know. I love to write poetry. My first published poem was right after I had given birth to my daughter and the poem was about her. There is something so deep and meaningful when a poem is written. It is like a piece of your soul. Life has become very busy and it has literally been a year since I have written a poem. As with life itself, I don’t necessarily follow the “rules”. My poetry comes from my inner self and sporadically I feel the need to write a poem. When that happens, I write it verbatim as it comes into my thoughts. I never change it or correct it. It is the rawest form of expression and I leave it as such. Today I was prompted to write this poem and I hope that you like it:
The love of a pet
(Dedicated to those who have loved and lost a pet)
The love of a pet is like no other we will ever know
Unconditional their love flows freely to us each day
And all they ever ask of us is to be loved in return
To be cuddled and cared for in each and every way
They wake us with kitty cat paws and doggy wet kisses
And greet us with unbridled joy at the end of the day
They are family, friend and companion all in one
They teach us to trust and they teach us to play
Sadly, pets only stay a short while here on Earth
They are waiting in heaven for us to join them one day
And what a day that will be when we see them again
Greeted by furry hugs and kisses where together we will stay
All of God’s creatures are special and unique for sure
But the love of a pet will remain with you and never go away
