"You were the light
that shone beyond
the darkness showing
me the way
showing me I
had the gift
The ability to love
-not only you
But myself
You showed me
what's inside
I will spend the rest of
my life thanking you
And even then
It will never equal the
love you showed me
For you were my first
With all my heart
And all that I am
I love you"
(in "Manifesting Mongrel, Elizabeth Allen about her dog Juno)
I put the picture of the book cover because, really, the picture its a poem by itself.
