Thank You For Bein' a Friend

Puppy,

How do I adore thee?
Let me count the ways:

You never perceived a difference,
A separation between 'you' and 'me';

You just kept on 'til I answered the call.
You never gave up on me.

You pushed when I pushed back,
Gave me the necessary 'reality attack'
When you pissed me off, you kept me afloat;

Practical and fair, you were there.

How you knew what I needed...

Perhaps it was just your way:
Being real fixed me today.

I never would have pressed on
If you hadn't pushed me up.

You are a good friend and an example
Of what 'support' truly means;
It's the little things which make
More than a simple human being.

Thank you, Puppy. You are one in a million.
