Unrelenting Love

A Story of Limitless Love

By Glen McKenziePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

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
