Wet Noses

How can you measure the trust and devotion?

What is the yardstick for loyalty?

Unconditional, follow-you-anywhere,

Quick to defend against friend or foe.

Asking little, save little attention,

A pat or a rub, a quick game of fetch.

A nuzzle of muzzle to garner affection.

Total endearment lost in sad eyes.

How can you measure

When they cannot speak?

The touch of a wet nose

Against your cheek.
