About a dog

Deep, dark profoundly sad eyes,

rarely a smile, but that only adds to it’s charm when seen

always stretched out as far as your limbs will go

a kiss to my hand, and you stare at me

then flop next to me for an evening of whimpering dreams

You are friendly to most of the humans you meet,

you make me wary of those you avoid

you ask very little yet in return give much

my heart warms the minute you choose to rest with me

Stay for a while, for as long as you can

Don’t let my heart recall the pain of those lost before you just yet

Instead, remind me again and again,

with each look

each stretch

each smile

each jump

how much love you give each day

how much joy to have for a while

our Finn
