Unforgetable Love

Thu, 01/30/2014 - 19:50 -- myersv

What matters to me, should matter to you
Being able to love someone is the best gift that can ever be given
Life is all about loving someone or something other than yourself
My love was towards my dog, Leah
The best friend that nobody could ever ask for
Leah had so much joy that each day she brightened the sky
On cloudy days, she would be the ray of sunlight that would shine through the cracks
My days were always filled with happiness and life
On days that were not so bright, she was there to comfort me and bring a smile to my face
Oh, how the days turned into years with just a blink of an eye
She grew older but never stopped smiling
Her age started to show but her face always stayed young
A light in the darkness
My friend for life or so I thought
Her life took a turn for the worse but it never dulled her internal light
Love in her eyes grew more as her time with me grew from years to days to minutes
And when she took her last dying breath I saw loving shining through her eyes, the brightest light that touched my soul and heart
Forever on, a light shines bright within my heart because loving Leah was a miracle that I will always cherish
