All That I Am

I have two eyes with which I can see
This wondrous world God gave to us free.
I have two ears with which I can hear
The sounds of nature all 'round us so clear.
I have a mouth with which I can eat
The food of life that tastes so sweet.
I have a nose with which I can smell
Scents in the earth it holds so well.
I have a mind with which I can think
Even the power for our minds to link.
I have a back, which has the strength
To carry your burdens to any length.
I have a tail with which to wave
And acknowledge the happiness you just gave.
I have four legs with which I can run
As fast as the wind when you say the word "come".
I have a fur coat with which to stay warm
That feels soft to you against your arm.
But more than the rest I have a heart
Bursting with love for you since our start.
To you I give everything that I am
To serve only you in my short life span.
Happiness for me is to share my existence
With one who loves me with such persistence.
All that I am, I give freely to you
In return all I ask is you love me to.
My life, my donation should yours be in peril,
My steps follow yours, by your side ever faithful.
You have my trust, my faith and my love,
You have everything I am, a gift from above.
