Unrelenting Love
A Story of Limitless Love
She came to us quietly and reserved
Not knowing what was in store
Four legs and a stomach that dragged
She needed us; we needed her
A life before us; now a life with us
New purpose sparkled in her eyes
Stop and start that first walk went
She needed us; we needed her
Settling in like an old comfy sweater
A new beginning unfolded before her
Joy she brought; joy she received
She needed us; we needed her
The jingle of car keys raised her head
Could an adventure be on the horizon
The desire to be with us was ever there
She needed us; we needed her
The years ticked by hour by hour
Four beds in the house; which one to take
The sweet soft click of her nails on the floor
She needed us; we needed her
Nine years went by so very fast
Special moments stand out
Like stars blazing in the night sky
She needed us; we needed her
Cancer came knocking ever so quietly
Fours months more we had her
Each second was precious; each minute divine
She needed us; we needed her
Sickness ravaged her tiny body
Her time with us passed
It was unrelenting love from her
She needed us; we still miss her
