Love Poem: Sammy

Sammy

SAMMY

Love and joy felt enter my life
day saw Sammy arrive.
Suddenly emptiness vanished,
once again … felt alive.

Sammy gets extra comfortable
especially on my lap.
And I welcome his warm body,
when time for bed … or nap.

Under chin against my chest, that’s
the way we go to sleep.
Soon cuddle in curve of my back,
positions all night … keep.

Sammy’s lessened my loneliness,
love loudness of his purr.
Blood pressure Doc’s seen get lower
when sit … and stroke Sam’s fur. 

Sam’s Improved quality of life,
my mental health, to boot.
Those don’t believe this possible,
guess what? … Don’t give a hoot?
