My family
is made of fur;
they walk on 4 legs not 2
they speak not in words
buts in barks and meows,
purrs and wagging tails,
subtle movements of eyes and ears…
Yet we understand each other
the mutual needs for affection, recognition
play, good food, peace and space.
No mind games amongst us
No hidden expectations
the only games being that of
fetch and chase…
looking forward to seeing each other
after even brief separations..
Accepted as each one IS…
Loved just for being Themselves
Loved just for bring My self.
My Family is Made of Fur
and our Hearts Are Made of Love.
