Life after a dog...

When you have a dog, the days are awesome,
The love he gives you inspite of any mausum!
The way he waits for you when you arrive from your school,
The way he wags his tail when he sees you is so cool.
The way he wakes you up in the morning,
By jumping on you like a spring.
The way he sits with you during hard times,
When the wind is harsh, and the sun does not shine.
The way he runs behind you when you are ill,
The way he reminds you to take your pills.
The way he smiles at you when people ignore,
The way he stays with you, when others tore.
The way he expects nothing from you,
But his actions always show love for you.
The way he barks and defends you from enemy,
The way he protects you from any calamity. 
The way he licks you in the night,
The way he loves you from every sight. 
The way to you he remains loyal,
Is so amazing and also so royal.
I am saying this wearing gloves,
That it is only a dog that shows true love.
I mean when you love a human, a girl,
She acts a lot and often calls us dull.
She puts up a lot of conditions,
Also tells us to follow certain regulations.
There is a possibility that she might on you cheat,
And also a possibility that you she might beat.
The love of a human is fake,
Because certain rules it will take.
You give me this, I give you that,
Love has become mostly a transaction in fact.
But what about a dog? It will love you more than itself.
It will make you live, when you want to kill yourself.
He is such a small animal with so little time to stay,
Yet it shows more humanity than all humans combined may.
Please when you have a dog, love him by your heart.
Please don't break the friendship of you both apart.
Please don't be angry on him, 
He is kind and caring living being.
If he falters at some part or grows old,
Please don't drop him off or don't let him be sold.
He is the only faithful friend you can have these days,
When humans leave, he is the only one who stays...
Please call him by giving him a name,
He is a living being and treat him like same.
Please treat him with care and sincerity,
Please put him as your number one priority.
I know how it feels after losing a dog,
Life seems so dull, as if it's got covered by a fog.
After you lose your dog,
There's no one who will come with you along.
There are only memories left then,
You cherish while walking through your lane.
The walks you both went on, the way for you he waited,
The way he loved you, the way he on you trusted.
You miss everything about him,
You miss the way he licked your skin.
I know how it feels when you know he cannot come back,
I know how it feels when silence kills as you say Come Jack!
One dog simply teaches you what hundred humans cannot,
One dog simply is kind to you, when other humans fought.
But I guess the motive of a dog is for you to realise,
The motive of a dog is for you to improvise.
That for loving others, words are not important,
It's the actions that are important.
Your actions are the one that matter,
Words only make a lot of clutter.
Dogs don't speak but still they say,
By their actions and show love that way.
Dogs live for so short time,
But still they are so kind.
Having a second dog, cannot replace the first one,
But it makes us loving, and can make us learn.
About love, happiness and empathy,
About kindness, caring, and loyalty.
All humans must learn from dogs,
All humans must love the dogs.
The bond between a dog and a man,
Is the real one and the most sane.
When you die, your dog waits for you,
And to eat he will refuse.
This is loyalty, unlike people who,
Don't care when you die and ignore you.
Just because we are technologically ahead,
Does not mean we are behaviourically ahead.
We have a lot to learn from dogs,
We can start by being kind to dogs.

I hope after reading this poem, you will adopt a dog...
I will be the first one to visit your home then, waiting a lot...
