Full Circle Love

Why do you make me breakfast every morning?

Why do you give me a hug before I drive to school?

Why do you text me, just to simply see how my day is going?

All of this, due to the fact that you are my mother, and #becauseyouloveme

How did you teach me to become such a great athlete?

How do you not grow upset with me when I am moody and rude?

How is it that, before I take a bike ride, you are in the garage, pumping my tires with air?

All of this, due to the fact that you are my father, and #becauseyouloveme

For what reason do you provide a massive hug as a greeting?

For what reason do you buy me gummy bears for my birthday, knowing I prefer them over any piece of clothing or Starbucks gift card?

For what reason did you shed a tear when I informed you I will be moving across the country next year?

All of this, due to the fact that you are my best friend, and #becauseyouloveme

For what purpose do you wag your tail and perk up your ears whenever I stroll into a room?

For what purpose do you lick me as I am petting you?

For what purpose do you bark and groll when a stranger is present in my house?

All of this, due to the fact that you are my dog, and #becauseyouloveme

Why do I worry when you have to work the night shift and drive home alone?

How is it that, as a high school senior, I still ask you to come kick the soccer ball around with me?

For what reason do our silliest inside jokes still bring a smile to my face?

For what purpose does losing you hurt me more than any physical pain I have endured?

All of this, due to the fact that I am your daughter, your best friend, your owner-and
