Unconditional Love

June 3, 2013

He was born of fur soft as an angel

Like the one who brought him to life.

Brown twinkly button eyes, jelly bean toes, pointy ears

And she swore he always had a smile (but no teeth!)

Lo and behold,

When the nightfall arrived –

Grrrroowwwwwl….grrrroowwwwwl…grrrroowwwwwl…

The monster under the bed’s running after her but he’s fighting them!

His fur’s rough as sand and he’s grown three times his size and his paws are clawing and –

Lo and behold,

When the daylight arrived –

Purrrr….purrrr…purrrr…

He shrank slowly, slowly

Smaller and smaller

Softly cuddling into her arms

Whispering

“For better, for worse,

I’ll be here

To fill your mind’s eye yet again.”
