Descended angel shows the way
Held the mother in the arms
Taking her away out of harm
Through the walls of blazing fire
An angel saved another one of a kind
Another angel who has come
To shower us with her true love
A note of compassion is written
With words unspoken
A kiss of thanks is given
Packaged in the box full of admiration
Hearts find each other
In the mist of unfortunate disaster
The day still lives as hearts still beat
A mother lives to see the sunlight
The babies unborn smile their way
Into the heart of the savior
Through the kiss of a mother
Waiting patiently outside
For her savior
A mother watches from a side
A chance to convey her thanks
At the end of the scene
Towards him she walks gently
To deliver a very special delivery
The kiss covered in chocolate love
Dipped in cluster of true appreciation
Now only if we humans
From this mother could learn
Heartfelt thanks’ true definition
For once a help to us is given
We tend our hair and off we go
Just to walk away
When someone else needs a helping hand
And just call it a day
So is the kiss of a four-legged mother
Her declaration of true appreciation
…with unconditional loving admiration

Heartwarming story behind the picture -
She is pregnant;
he had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.
When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.
A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.
He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.
As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.
