Golden Magic

Missing image

 

 

 

Soft golden fur friends ~
big brown eyes of love
patiently follow my every move

so I stop my introspection.
I look down at them ~
they look up at me.

One small gesture ~
they run to my side
nozzle at my feet
jump on my lap
sloppy kisses follow.

Tails wag as I utter love-words
telling them they are so good.

Before I am aware
I am smiling
inside and out.

The girls have performed
their own special magic ~

they love me unconditionally.

How can I remain self-absorbed
in the face of such innocent devotion?

Author notes

If you knew my two golden retrievers, Chowder and Autumn, you too would know the best antidote for sadness.

    AW, SO SWEET!!!!!

    I cannot tell of the many times this has happened to me over the years. Animals have this beautiful way of loving and sharing without really trying. 's

    Yes, that's just the way it is with my little cocker spaniel. Always there, glad to see me and full of kisses. Can't even go for a drive in the car without her wanting to sit on my lap and look out the window. You really have a fine way of describing it. It is such a special magic.

    First I would like to ask you to please not 5 star my comment or comment me back in any way. I am trying not to find out who anyone is at this time.

    Your dogs is so very cute. I believe that pets are good for you, plus they are great company. I can tell by your picture that your dogs make you very happy. I had a few dogs in my life that I truly loved and I hope they felt the same for me.

    This is such a nice piece of poetry to read.
    Thanks for entering my contest and good luck.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
