you couldn't be less complicated
your love couldn't be more pure
nothing about you could be distilled
in you is the very essence of
unconditional love
unquestioning loyalty
boundless joy
instinctual compassion
infectious enthusiasm
years of life and love shared
you wanted to be with me at my least loveable
you changed my heart
goodbye, good boy, I love you.

Yes, it's about a dog. After 2 years of abuse and neglect and some time served in a shelter, he had 15 good years with our family. Amazingly, he never ceased to show gratitude, as if being in our family was the greatest privilege he could have. It was ours.
