Love, Honor And Attend To Your Fellow Humans. Poem by Rajan T Renganathan

I have one pet dog,
I also have a fish tank with gold fish,
I have a horse to ride,
I am the parent of a daughter and two sons.

As I provide care for my canine and engage in play,
It responds with affection and enjoys my company,
I find it to be a pleasant pastime,
However, it is incapable of verbalizing or
demonstrating emotions.

When I feed my Gold fish
It hastens to consume it,
and upon extending my finger,
It gently brushes against it and offers a kiss,
I find it to be a delightful experience,
However, dissimilar to my domestic canine,
It is unable to reciprocate with fondness and endearment.

I adore my horse,
As I mount him, he leaps in elation
And carries me on a journey
We enjoy each other's company
While exploring the forest, streams, and fields
Similar to a canine, he responds with enthusiasm.

My daughter is my beloved, she amuses
Sits on my knees, converses kindly, plays pleasantly
And occasionally expresses satisfaction
And occasionally expresses dissatisfaction
She expresses herself, I perceive her affection and concern.

My boys are my mirror image,
They adore, nurture and steadfastly stand beside me
And I discover them delightful and content
they are authentic treasures of my existence.

The variation I perceive in each
Is a level of comprehension
No matter what - aquatic creatures, canines or equines won't offer identical affection.
Only the offspring and other human beings are genuine gems
Love, honor and attend to your fellow humans.
