My Love Object

My ‘Love Object’ is an immense source of joy,

much more than any technological toy,

Sometimes as soothing as the warmth of the sun,

Who elicits a youthful feeling of fun.

My Love Object’s soulful, auburn-colored eyes

lift me from sadness to ethereal highs.

We sleep tenderly pressed together, in delight.

My Love Object comforts me through the dark of night.

My Love Object was God-sent right from the start,

to open, to mend, and to soften my heart.

A true friend to aid and join my upward climb

was found in this loyal love, that grows with time.

Her ever-wagging tail with its bouncing white tip

tells of our happy canine-human friendship.

I’ve enjoyed kinships with people, and now

I have risen in Love with a dog, somehow.
