Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite animals?

In quiet steps upon the floor,
In bright-eyed waits beside the door,
In every wag that sweeps the air—
A dog’s true heart is beating there.

No weather chills, no distance parts;
He guards the corners of our hearts.
A shadow soft, a constant guide,
A little soul that stays beside.

He asks for nothing—just your hand,
A place to lie, a place to stand.
Yet gives you more than you could say:
A thousand lifetimes in a day.

For in his gaze, so warm and wide,
Lives trust he never tries to hide.
A love that never turns to roam—
A loyal heart that calls you home.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
