For Winifred...


Poem Artwork

 

When it’s one of those days,

 

where little goes right

 

and I drag myself

 

through the door,

 

I’m met with sloppy wet licks

 

and a blast of bad breath…

 

Proof someone is 

 

glad I exist.

 

For reasons unknown

 

she’s addicted to me.

 

She yearns for my smile,

 

and begs for my touch.

 

My angel, my imp  

 

with a pureness of heart,

 

it’s clear she wants only to please.

 

She doesn’t care if

 

I’m rich, or I’m poor,

 

If I’m pretty or not,

 

She just wants to know

 

I am hers.

This almost made me cry...
The wonderful things she gives you.
Those that it's so hard to find elsewhere.

awww, this is as sweet as it gets, Michelle. If only we could learn to love as unconditionally and as completely as our pets, I think mankind would be in a position to change the world. Very nice poem and tribute to your wonderful friend.
Take care,

Great to see you back, Michelle. A truly delightful poem - and what a joy Winifred must be! Yes, the muses sometimes shoulder each other out, but still, what a treasure to have two of them.

Michelle,
This touched my heart, for I also have a wonderful dog named Blackie. He's always there for me, no matter what my mood is, he doesn't care as long as Mommy is with him. I adore him. Love the pic too!!!!

Part angel,
part imp with
an unfettered heart,
craving only to please.

They truly do, and your Winifred sounds like a marvelous imp angel, Michelle.
