Paws of Devotion

Your eyes, a mirror of my deepest soul,

A wagging tail that greets me at the door.

Through storms or calm, you make my spirit whole,

A love so pure, it asks for nothing more.

No words are spoken, yet you understand,

The silent aches that linger in my chest.

You rest your head upon my trembling hand,

And in your warmth, I find my fleeting rest.

Through every stumble, every tear, each fall,

You stand beside me, steadfast as the sun.

No judgment cast, no grudges held at all—

Your boundless heart declares we’re always one.

Oh, loyal friend, your love, a gift divine,

A bond unbroken, endless and sublime.
