To them it does not matter.....

If you’re abled or disabled

Or whatever colour your skin.

To them, it’s not important,

You’re just another of their kin. 

They also do not see you

As too fat, too thin, no hair.

And it’s no relevance to them

What fashions you decide to wear. 

They love you for you, just as you are

And for the love that you give back

They live for your smiles and your cuddles

That’s all they require, from the leader of their pack. 

They don’t care if you are older

And your joints, may creak and ache

They have such adoration for you

There’s no need to change for their sake. 

They do not worry if your breath smells

For they know that theirs does too,

Your feet may pong, but to them - nothing’s wrong

And they won’t talk about you, ‘tis true! 

Never mind your sexuality

To them – it makes no difference

They love you, no matter what, you see

Without question, or significance. 

What am I talking of here?

Who is it that has no regret?

Now, listen when I tell you all

It’s our dear, beloved pets.
