Reflection

He sits beside you, soaking in the morning sun while you eat your breakfast. He walks you to the door as you leave for work every morning. He is always waiting at the gate eager to hear your footsteps-time does not matter. He will follow you because he wants your attention and he also knows that you have a treat hidden for him. He has a sweet tooth and a warm heart.

He comes to you when you call on him. He intensely listens to every word you say but a pigeon or a squirrel occasionally distracts him. A spontaneous run and he is back, sitting by your side and gestures you to continue. He makes you feel better although he has not said a word. His eyes reveal that he understands you.

He loves the people who are close to you. He will guard and protect them. He becomes fierce and malicious when his loved ones are threatened. He does not retaliate when you wrong him. He never keeps count. He gives you numerous chances to improve.

He never asks for anything in exchange for his selfless affection. Looking deep into his eyes I often wonder, can we ever be a reflection of him? I don’t have to ponder over the question for long. We leave him out in the open to guard our house in the freezing cold while we sleep in our warm cozy beds.
