*~ My Dog Drake ~* *He is my other eyes* *that can see above the clouds* *my other ears that hear* *above the winds* *He is the part of me* *that can reach out into the sea* *He has told me a thousand times* *that I am his reason for being* *by the way he rests against my leg* *by the way he thumps his tail at my* *smallest smile* *by the way he shows his hurt* *when I leave without taking him* *I think it makes him sick with worry* *when he is not along to care for me* *When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive* *when I am angry, he clown to make me smile* *when I am happy, he is joy unbounded* *if I am a fool, he ignores it* *when I succeeds, he brags* *without him, I am only another woman* *with him, I am all-powerful* *He is loyalty itself, and has taught me* *the meaning of devotion* *With him, I know* *a secret comfort and a private peace* *He has brought me understanding* *where before I was ignorant* *His head upon my knee* *can heal my human hurts* *His presence by my side is protection* *against my fears of unknown things* *He has promised to wait for me* *whenever, whatever in case I need him* *and I expect I will ~ as I always have* *he is just my dog, Drake* *� 2006* *Carole Mathys*

He is loyalty itself, and has taught me
the meaning of devotion

I believe they teach us so many things, if we are willing to learn, and Drake sounds like a fabulous dog, Carole.

Carole,

A beautiful testament to the meaning of unconditional love, encased in canine form. VERY well penned, you touched my heart today and made me think of my own beloved dogs, Sultan and Beezers.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
