My furry friend



Filled with mixed feelings

I brought you home one day,

Were you just cute or super naughty

I couldn’t really say.

 

You instantly stole our heart

With your adorable little play,

and sometimes you turned into a little shark

eating and biting everything on the way.  

 

You were the first Golden I owned

And my very first furry friend,

We two made a great company

Sometimes happy, sometimes overwhelmed

 

Energetic, gorgeous, cuddly & sweet

You were growing up too fast,

With you around I was always on my toes,

My dream to own a pet came true at last

 

You followed me everywhere

Your love was so selfless and pure,

Golden in skin and golden at heart

Speechless but not emotionless, for sure

 

You greeted me so excitedly

Every time I entered through the door,

You showered so much love and joy

You certainly had it more.  


A dog is a man’s best friend,

This saying is just so true  

You bring out the best in me every day,

And I try to do the same in you.

 

Love you, Marshall!

    Every pet parent shares your emotions penned here. Pets n especially doggies can become your reason to want to see the next day in our lives. They come with short lives and give us many fold the love to make up for the shorter lifespan. Love them all!!

      I echo your thoughts Nitin, you have been there and my journey has just started but I can say, I totally adore these little creatures we call dogs.

Remember the last time you wanted to show your gratitude to someone but paused at that moment and never got a chance back. Or when someone brought a smile to your face but you let the moment pass without reciprocating. Maybe someone hurt you in the past and sought forgiveness, but you still carry the pain of that hurt in your heart because you chose that they don’t deserve your forgiveness. It may also happen that you yourself are waiting to make that apology but don’t have the courage or the perfect moment to do that. These are regular occurrences in our busy lives and believe it or not, we don’t deliberately miss saying those magical words of thank you, sorry or I forgive you. We just sincerely believe there is still time, a lot of time that we are left with, on our journey on Earth. We sincerely believe tomorrow will be kinder and easier for us, and that we will find that magical moment that will help make that long pending phone call or show our gratitude or say our apologies to th...

Remembrance

Image
When your heart aches, which it often will, Remember me with fondness, And the love you behold still.     Let go of the sorrow,   the pain that encompasses you, Cause’ my body may have perished, but my spirit is just as new.   I’m on my last journey, I must take it alone, There’s a light which guides me throughout,   I feel Him, and His splendor, I think I have always known.   We shall meet again, Our fates and path shall cross, Your heart will know, your soul will tell, And there will be peace and joy, across.   Remember the moments we had, And the memories we made, oh so sweet, Keep me alive in your smiles, and your laughs, I want to be set free, until we finally meet.

The guilt trip – Let’s take it!

Image
Have you been on a guilt trip ever? Chances are, yes, and often. It may be that we have really wronged someone in some way or we simply imagined that we wronged someone and then this bad itchy feeling appears from nowhere, which keeps pulling us in the past and worrying us for the future. Most of us have been there, we often let guilt overpower us, sometimes for our entire lifetimes. Most likely, we have at least faced this manipulation tactic, when someone made us feel we weren’t good enough for something or someone and that was enough to make us opt to self-doubt ourselves. This made us feel bad, may be uncomfortable, and imperfect too. But is guilt really such a bad boy?   Can we instead give this bad boy a second chance? Why not let guilt make us uncomfortable and scared? Why not let it help us realize we all are imperfect at the end of the day? And then why not let guilt show us the way instead, or act as our guiding path, that nudge in our arm, a shaking of our soul to mak...
