Nyah

Nyah

I love my dog in a way most people can’t,

or won’t understand.

She trusts in me whole heartedly

 that I will feed her,

and walk her

 and love her.

Her expectations are really very few,

yet her unconditional love is abundant.

I can tell Nyah my biggest fears,

my greatest desires

and my deepest disappointments.

She  listens

and kisses where appropriate.

She won’t share my thoughts with others,

or hurl my words back at me in anger.

Regardless of my mood,  Nyah loves me.

If I’m angry, she climbs into my lap

and is still.

If I’m happy, she brings a toy to play.

If I’m sad, she brings kisses,

 lots and lots of kisses.

I believe the world needs more dogs.

Sometimes humans are simply overrated.
