If ever I wished for a friend
to hold and kiss and cuddle
Never would anyone be so
willing to stand for as long
as I needed her,
Never rushing to break free
of my loving embrace.
If ever I wished for a protector
to stand behind and peek through
the curtains
Never would anyone be so
willing to stand before me
to take on the danger
Never wavering in her determination
to give her life for me.
If ever I wished for a confidant
to hear mundane human troubles
Never would anyone be so
willing to stand beside me
with a strong shoulder to cry on
Never holding back the depth
or power of her unconditional love.
If ever I wished for a dog
to play with and walk with
Never would anyone be so
willing to give me a smile, a wag
and join me in silly games
Never wishing she was somewhere else
with someone other than me.
In memory of Magic, my beauty girl.
