Pets

There is nothing more precious
than a loving pet.
They're there for you
when your heart holds regret.

They spend their lives
waiting for you.
Caring moments
made by few.

It doesn't matter what they are,
a dog, a cat, a fish, a snake.
You can talk to them,
nothing's fake.

They pick you up
when you are down.
They help remove
that ghastly frown.

A lick on the cheek,
a nudge on the shoulder.
It's just how they show,
their love is forever.

And even when
it's their turn to go.
And now your heart
is filled with sorrow.

Just remember your
loving pet.
And those precious moments
you'll never forget.
