There is a kind of love

That asks for nothing  

But your presence

Always there

A soft heartbeat

A snuffle 

A snuggle

A wagging tail 

At your feet

By your side

A heart friend 

Who meets you without words

Or expectations

No judgement

No comparison 

No story

Just a steady and life affirming companionship

An alchemist of healing

In fur and flesh

A warm body pressed against yours

A look to remind you that you are enough

A living, breathing reminder

That your presence

Is the greatest gift of all
