In the quiet moments of life's trials and bends,
When the weight of the world upon us descends,
We don't always seek advice or a sage's decree,
Sometimes, all we yearn for is a heart that can see.
A hand to hold in the darkest of nights,
A gentle touch that brings warmth and light,
Not words of wisdom or counsel profound,
But a presence that soothes without a sound.
An ear to listen, patiently and kind,
To the echoes of our heart and troubled mind,
No need for answers or solutions to find,
Just a comforting silence, leaving worry behind.
And a heart that understands, without a need for words,
A kinship in empathy, where understanding occurs,
Where judgments fade and acceptance stands tall,
In the sanctuary of compassion's gentle thrall.
Sometimes, amidst life's chaotic fog,
When our spirits are low and emotions clog,
All we truly need to clear the fog's dense smog,
Is the unconditional love of a faithful dog.
With eyes that speak of loyalty so pure,
And a presence that offers solace, secure,
In their silent companionship, we find a retreat,
A haven of peace where troubles can't compete.
For they ask not for explanations or reasons why,
They simply offer their love, unwavering and nigh,
In their simple existence, they teach us so much,
About patience, about joy, about staying in touch.
So when the world overwhelms with its fast-paced demands,
And advice feels like echoes in endless sands,
Remember, amidst life's bustling catalog,
Sometimes, all we need is the love of a dog.
