canine

gratitude..
of a different kind
for I have no child
not of the human kind
but the humane kind
the unconditional kind
the one with no voice
the love of this kind
the kind with no judgment
not of man kind
the jealous kind
like the female kind
with endless forgiveness
not the pretentious kind
the genuine kind
with no assumptions
the helpless kind

not of a selfish nature
the sacrificing kind
of a sweet creature
not the beastly kind
one of rapture
the joyful kind
a musing teacher
the effortless kind
one of a pet
the four legged kind

do not judge me
if  you do not know
the love of this kind
the love of a canine
