Lovingly Yours

Won first place.
The prompt was to write a poem about your pet.

LOVINGLY YOURS

You sit beside me patiently
with eyes
of puppy dog brown.

A question of wonder
in your eyes
under hair of chocolate brown.

So soft and smooth
like an angel's kiss
you nestle close to me.

Your gentle heart's
so tender,
your love for me I see.

We take
this love for granted,
given with both our hearts.

I pray to God
in Heaven
we'll never be apart.

I wonder what you're thinking
and I wonder
what I'll do.

If anything should come between
this love
I feel for you.

So faithfully
you follow
wherever I may roam.

As for now
we'll stay right here
this place that we call home.
