Critters of my Heart

A funny bunnie
a crazy cat
it does my heart so good;

to see you play
through-out the day
like, happy critters should.

Darkness distilled
can cover eyes
like fiends jumping around;

on earth, or sand
you must understand
hearts are touched, without a sound.

Don't go away
caress the way
I appreciate your smile...

my life, I live
for what you give...
and my gratitude's my style.

You're my only heart
so, I won't start
by giving you a surprise;

my actions show
the me, you know...
be sure and look into my eyes !

A joyful poem

Take your glasses off and I will look into your eyes, lol. This is cute and jovial, still cheeky though. And thank goodness they never hassled Fred, lol. Good one Doc. Love to you and yours, Lyz. Xx
