Look out into "The World".
See that
Sea of faces populating "Earth".
Boys.
Girls.
Men.
Women.
People of all ages,
All races,
From different places.
Each with their own history,
All seeking their own glory.
But who are they?
Why do so many want to change them?
Is it really worth it,
For one's name and view
To be known by all,
Loved by a few,
And hated by all others?
Some say they want to change "The World".
Make "Earth" a "Better Place".
But I,
Can only see My world
Grow warmer and brighter
From the smiles
And laughter
Of those I love.
Because they make up My world.
So others can obsess
Over changing "The World".
I'll stick to making My world
Why can't you see
Your own beauty?
In your art
In your heart?
You mean so much to me.
And there's so much you could be.
So take the blindfold off,
And ignore those who scoff
At you
At me
And all the great things that we can be.
We have dreams
That are bursting at the seams.
So when you have the chance
To make those dreams come true
Don't just give it a passing glance.
Take it and
Use it.
Just never forget
To be you.
I’m sorry,
But I can’t do everything you want me to.
I am imperfect.
I have my limitations.
Others can do things
That I can’t.
That’s just how it is.
So I’m sorry if
I don’t live up to your expectations
When others can.
But
I’m not them.
I’m just
Me.
I guess that’s
just not good enough.
Is it?
Maybe I should change.
And be someone else.
Would you be happy then?
Or can you accept
My strengths
And weaknesses
Just the way they are?
Can you love me?
For who I am
I have already given myself to you.
So if you want,
I’ll give myself up,
And be someone else
That you can actually love.
I am a dog
My love is a leash
and you are my person.
My playmate,
best friend,
guardian,
and companion.
And while I may sometimes
Bark and growl
if we disagree.
I may sometimes run off chasing squirrels.
Know that the statement
'I love you'
is very true.
Those three simple words,
'I love you',
mean more than you know.
Love binds us.
I will follow you
anywhere,
everywhere,
even to the ends of the Earth.
I will protect you,
however I can.
When you smile I'll wag my tail.
when you frown I'll do my best to make you smile.
Because you are human
I am a dog
and you have me leashed by love.
No matter what,
I love you.
I've heard it said before
That love is a battle field.
Love is war.
Love is blind.
Love hurts.
But if that's true,
Then why is it that
I feel so safe in their arms
I feel at peace when I am with them
I love to see their smile and beautiful face
And talking to them heals me?
