Each morning, as the sun stretches its golden fingers across the horizon, a ritual unfolds in my life, a dance of love and devotion. With a bowl in hand, I step into the quiet kitchen, where the soft light of dawn spills through the curtains.
The homemade feast, a medley of flavors and scents, is carefully portioned onto her plate. Her tail, a metronome of joy, wags with eager delight as she prances around, a ballet of excitement. Her eyes, deep pools of gratitude, meet mine, and in that moment, a bond unbreakable is reaffirmed.
With each bite, she tastes not just the food but the love that fills it. Her gentle slurps and satisfied sighs compose a melody that serenades my heart. In these quiet moments, as we share this morning ritual, I find solace and contentment.
Morning light dawns,
Tail wags, eyes speak gratitude,
Love’s daily ritual.

I’m also a dog lover, so I really get this poem. My favorite phrase is “a bond unbreakable reaffirmed”. My dog just gobbles down her food instantly but I get this affirmation when she randomly stops to kiss me goodnight before going under the covers and snuggling in crook of my knees. I really enjoyed this.
