I hate
it when
my lips tremble
and
the sniffles
start
and the
words
are
so
difficult
to even
say
But
it is a small price
to
pay
for the time we did have together
Funny
if you are fortunate
you hold
your mate’s hand
You hug each other
often
You are glad to get home
and
chat
How is it
that
in all of this
came
the
affection
of
holding
a
paw?
Of
noticing
a wagging
tail?
Of
being
licked
and
calling it
a
kiss?
How did all that come about?
I hate
it when
my lips tremble
and
the sniffles
start
and
words
are
so
difficult
to even
say
Another
reason
to
write
Another
reason to
type
God thought of everything
It is
pretty
amazing
He must have had a dog
clearly
God
too
