Personal Expression - My Love should be more 'Dog-like'

My Love should be more ‘Dog-like’

Everywhere I walk, ‘Poof’, my dog is magically right there!
A dog's pleasurable companionship is beyond compare.

Dogs inspire us to play, have fun, go for walks; enjoying life,
Petting a dog is comforting and alleviates life's strife.

One ‘therapeutic dog petting session', a thought did occur...
‘Dogs must have been made for petting with their coat of velvet fur.’

Whenever I need to give love, my dog is faithfully there.
A dog possesses a great willingness to give and to share...

...themselves, as objects of love, at any hour of the day.
And how does my dog seem to comprehend every word I say?

They are masters of 'tuning in'; they have a keen perception,
And not many human beings can top a dog's reception.

With a dog’s greeting or welcoming, the love is understood.
They never lie, and their eyes reveal a heart that's pure and good.

Throughout the day, I smile and say, my dog's done something so cute!
They speak the universal language; Love, even though their mute!

Great genius made the 'wagging tail' the 'happy' indicator!
And funny, when a dog's tail wags, my happiness is greater!

Now, if I could alter God's great plan; 'right' what I think is 'wrong' —
The lifetime of a dog would have to be incredibly long!

A dog's love feels as though it is coming from a loftier place....
...than the 'what's in it for me' objective of the human race.

This interspecies relationship has helped my soul to grow.
My Love should be more 'Dog-like'; I am only human, though.
