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.”
