Your puppy licked my hand today <br />He doesn't know that you are gone <br />I reached down, he came to me <br />He ran right into my arms <br /> <br />Unconditional love <br />He doesn't know right from wrong <br />We could learn a thing or two <br />From this puppy in my arms <br /> <br />As I let him lick my hand <br />I could only think of you <br />So I hugged and loved this creature <br />That once did belong to you <br /> <br />It was as if he could know <br />Somehow, could sense the hurt inside <br />It was as if somehow he knew <br />I was about to cry <br /> <br />As I held it in my arms <br />As the tears streamed down my face <br />How could God put so much of <br />Unconditional love, in such a place.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unconditional-love-2/
