Unconditional Love

Your puppy licked my hand today

He doesn't know that you are gone

I reached down, he came to me

He ran right into my arms

Unconditional love

He doesn't know right from wrong

We could learn a thing or two

From this puppy in my arms

As I let him lick my hand

I could only think of you

So I hugged and loved this creature

That once did belong to you

It was as if he could know

Somehow, could sense the hurt inside

It was as if somehow he knew

I was about to cry

As I held it in my arms

As the tears streamed down my face

How could God put so much of

Unconditional love, in such a place.
