The Gift of a Dog

A lover may give you a fleeting kiss,
Soft as the breeze, a moment of bliss.
A friend may offer a warm embrace,
Comforting arms, a kind, familiar face.

But a dog—ah, a dog gives something more,
No need for words, no keeping score.
He lays his soul at your weary feet,
In every wag, his heartbeat sweet.

He asks no promise, expects no part,
Only to gift you his loyal heart.
Through storm and sun, in joy or pain,
He’ll stand by you in loss or gain.

No truer love you’ll ever find,
So pure, so patient, so unconfined.
For in his eyes, you’ll see the start—
Of a bond unbreakable, heart to heart.

In His Honor and Glory
