Anywhere

He walks to me
All flattened-back ears and shiny eyes
The most beautiful smile in the world

You look from across the room
Ready to do anything for us
As we would do for you and for each other

We will fight any dog to protect you
No matter how scared we may be

We will stay up all night making you soup
No matter how inadequate we may feel

We will walk to where I am
And offer a hug
No matter how much our anger got the better of us
In the heat of the moment

We will all prepare our love
For the one that may or may not come
In this smiley and fuzzy family cuddle by the couch
