Love Poem: Rosie

Rosie

Rosie

She bounced into my life like sunshine on four legs
Chasing paper balls and toying with clothes pegs,
Blooming with vitality and purrfect happiness
She keeps me entertained for hours with her playfulness.

My love for my sweet Rosie is as infinite as the stars, 
As great as the distance is from here to planet Mars, 
Her bright green eyes convey to me her little every wish
Which usually refers to something tasty in a dish.

On days when all my problems strive to weigh me down,
Rosie leaps upon my knee and banishes my frown, 
How could I not be jovial with such a friend as this?
She fills my time with pleasure and I reward her with a kiss.

I love each wiry whisker upon her little velvet face, 
Her lynx like ears, soft deep purrs and total flawless grace.
My life is so much brighter with this furry beaming light 
Who ends my day with harmony when Rosie sleeps with me at night.
