Love

Love is brought to us ~

on many days ~

in many different ways ~



A smile at the checkout from a stranger
A kiss on the cheek from a brother
A pat on the back from a teacher
A two-minute hug from a grandmother

And sometimes ~
Love ~
Comes ~
as an unimaginable surprise

This little guy ~
has been my surprise

My first pet
My first dependent
My first lap cushion
My first constant presence

This little guy ~
is my first ~
True ~
Unconditional ~
Love

I wish you all ~
the same First ~
the same Love ~
in your life

With so many pets ~
needing to Love ~
and to be Loved

for all

or permanent
