A Poem Of Love

You and I have been together for almost five years now,

Our relationship just keeps getting stronger and stronger,

How did I ever live without you in my life?

I would be hopelessly lost without your love.


We spend our days together, seldom apart,

No matter what I am doing,

You are always at my side with your adoring eyes,

Your only wish is just to be with me.


When we take our daily walks, rain or shine,

You walk slightly ahead of me, and sometimes you glance back,

To make sure I’m still there and haven’t left you,

Do you walk ahead to protect me from any harm?


At the end of our busy day, I make your dinner,

You never complain about what I cook,

You appreciate my delicious home cooked chicken and rice.

You know that is my way of saying I love you.


There are those rare times when I have to leave you alone,

I know how much you miss me when I’m gone,

So I hurry home, and you greet me with excitement,

You act as if you thought I’d never return.


When we ride around town in the car together,

You proudly sit beside me, happy to jjust be with me,

People go by, and think what a lovely companion that lady has,

I think they are a little jealous of my beautiful friend.


I anxiously wait for you late at night,

To join me in my bed,

I feel you gently climb in beside me,

Not wanting to awaken me, I suppose.


Then I feel your body getting ever so close

Until you are nestled in the small of my back,

I feel your sweet pink tongue kiss the back of my neck,

And I turn to face you, because I know what you want.


You slowly turn over on your back so that I can rub your stomach,

I caress your soft, smooth pink skin with my fingers,

You groan in appreciation, as is to say, please don’t stop.

Soon, we sleep and perhaps dream of our day together.


The morning comes, and we awaken,

My love and I hop out of bed at the same time,

We both look forward to another exciting day,

Another day to share our love and devotion.

Who Is My Constant Companion And Best Friend?

My constant companion and best friend is not a member of the opposite sex.

This poem is dedicated to my Miniature Schnauzer named Baby. She and I are inseparable. I got Baby when she was eight weeks old.

How can I describe her? She is beautiful, intelligent, playful, mischievious, and stubborn at times.

Just wonderful Mary! Voted up and beautiful.I bet you miss her and she misses you. I believe you said she was not accompanying you to PR. Baby will be one ecstatic doggy when you get back home. My cat Sid has taken to sleeping on my hip when I sleep on my right or left side. In fact if I get up during the night he waits until I return and as soon as I settle into bed there he is on one of my hips. lol

I was almost shielding tears.. And I saw it was a dog.. Then I smiled. And I smiled again and a tear drop fell from my brown eyes.. And I smiled again.. Which you both everything beautiful the world has to offer.. Wish you both a love without spot and more exciting and mind blowing moment each time you wake to a brand new day..

Awesome

Hi Gypsy Rose Lee. So nice to see you today! Yes I had to leave Baby behind this time when I came to Puerto Rico, but if and when I return, I will bring her (if I can find a rental that will take pets). I do miss that little gal. Believe it or not, the kids at home put the phone receiver to her ear and I talk to her! That's so cute about your cat, Sid. I'm here for one more week, then I go home. I've really enjoyed it here, though. Bye for now...

Hi Capedium, so good to see you. It pleases me that you were moved by my poem and shed a little tear! She is so much company for me, and I do love her a lot. I never thought I could love a dog this much! Thanks for reading, friend.

Hey, drbj. Yeah, I miss my Baby cause I'm still in Puerto Rico. If I come back next winter, I'm bringing my whole crew with me, cause I can't stand being away from my crazy family. I'm beginning to really miss all of them. Going home next Wed. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Our dogs are certainly wonderful companions and amazing in the way they forgive us when we forget to do something for them. When I apologize, mine puts her head down and goes around in a circle as she is apologizing, too!

mary615 profile image

mary615 Hub Author 3 months ago

Hi BlossomSB, I agree, our dogs are wonderful friends and companions. I'd be lost without my Baby! I had to chuckle when I read you apologize, and your dog has to apologize too. That's so cute. If I accidentally step on Baby's toes I say I'm sorry, just like she is a human! Thanks for reading and Commenting. Goodnight.

Animals can be such friends and comforters if we allow them to be. God designed them for that purpose, to be special and loyal friends. Your Baby is lovely and I am so glad you have her.

Good Morning, Hyphenbird. Always glad to see you! Thanks for reading and commenting on my poem about my best friend, Baby. She is a joy in my life; she forces me to take walks which I probably wouldn't do if it were not for her. I'm glad I have her, too. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Oh this is truly beautiful mary.Baby is such a gem ;and I especially loved this one because I had a Min Schnauzer called Pepper who lived for nearly 17 years.

She had such a character and was sadly missed for a long time.

Thanks for sharing Baby with us and have a great day.

Hi picadilly, thanks for reading my Hub about my constant companion, my little doggie. She is just like a human;she can even talk at times, when she wants to play or eat, etc. Yes, I love that little girl! As another animal lover, when you have the time, check out my Hub about Bailey and her decorated doggie carrier. See you again, soon, I hope.

Hi Mary! What a little cutie! I could feel the love you have for her. She sounds just adorable.I love how you,talk about taking walks. when I go for a walk I have Trouble of course, and 3 others following me Ha Ha when I used to walk everyday. I just lost porsha my alaskan malamute, she loved me son. One day she couldn't walk. For almost three weeks I'd literally sleep by he. (she was to big for me with my heart and back, Even if i didn't have those diseases, I still could pick her up. she was sitting in the hallway. She looked at me with her trusting big eyes and I loved her so. For 3 weeks I put her on a blanket by me on the floor and bought pads in case she had an accidents. I would take care of her.I flatly refused to leave her. we got some calming pills from the pet store. Finally after 3 weeks with my bad back I stayed by her side. I figure Its not going to kill me,deal with it. I was caring for her in case it was temporary. my husband took her in and they put her to sleepI'll never foret how she nuzzled marc as he left. Just before he had like a bed he made in the truck cab.I'll never for get the way she looked at me with those eyes and knowing what we had to do.I hugged her, kissed her said I love you because Marc was afraid the stress would set me up for heart attack or a stroke. So he went alone. I begged him not to leave her to hold her and make sure she left us loving her.reading your hub as loving as it is , is beautiful. I can't get another dog.too old to get one now. Plus TROUBLE would have a hyper fit. Trouble HATES other animals.

It's wonderful you have your baby and your so happy,slides gently in bed with you. Animals i like better than most people, they just love you and you love them,Oh and food and treats too.

sure is a cute little dog and she looks really loved. I enjoyed this voting it up!amazing hub about your baby.

Hi Rusti, how sad about your Alaskan Malamute. Thanks for telling me about her. As you know, dogs are extremely intelligent, and they know how much you love them. I'm sure she knew how much you loved her, too. It must have broken your heart. I know Baby won't live forever, I can only love and enjoy her company while she is with me. Again, I'm so sorry. Thanks for reading about me and my Baby. Thanks, too for the votes. Goodnight.
