Loyalty Beyond Words

It kept getting closer, lapping on me, I couldn’t help but move away. For a moment, I was surprised, feeling kind— Something wonderful filled my mind. I never touched nor fed it before, Yet it read me like a book, for sure. It slept on my legs, refusing to part, A bond formed, from soul to heart. We often forget they understand much more, Their love opens doors, rich and pure. Like a dove, for those they adore, Without shelter, braving cars, mobs, and more. No tears in their eyes, no sign of despair, They jump with joy when someone cares. Even if their time is brief, Their devotion provides pure relief. Day or night, they never stray, Waiting for you, no matter the delay. The fiercest and cutest of them all, They protect us, their love standing tall. Better than friends who sometimes leave, They teach us a love that never deceives. If you learn from them, just a small part, You'll discover the deepest love in your heart.
