We look to do our best
To see the best
And live a life of no unrest.
Sometimes it works
Sometimes we fail.
But in the end
we live, we love
We follow our destiny’s trail.

Time bends
Hours drip away
Different
In all places of the world
The universe
Galaxies swirling.
Time bends
Somewhere it’s tomorrow
Today
Is gone
It’s already been.
Then there’s
Yesterday
Can we go back
See it happen, happen
All over again?
Time bends

Do I know you
Have you been
My friend?
Will I know that in times of trouble
I can count on you
Once more, once again?
Questions, answers
I say, ask
Over and over again
Still
I don’t know for certain
You really are
My friend.

I’ve written 2-3 writings, poems for this day.
This day I’ve been dreading since last December.
Ceile, our beloved Rottweiler has been very sick
and we knew this day would come.
She would have ‘Good Days’ eat, chase, her ‘Green Ball’ wag, her tail and cuddle on the sofa. Then there would be ‘Bad Days’ She wouldn’t eat, diarrhoea, puke after drinking too much water from the prednisone she was taking.
We knew, knew our time was limited and short.
Too many ‘Bad Days’ and it’s all over.
Yesterday, we accepted that there was no time left.
None of the writings I wrote for this sad day, say how I feel as much as
this that I wrote many years ago to a friend who had just lost her beloved mastiff.
Please read, think of those who you have lost, hug those still with you
and send your best
to our Ceile for the journey she’s about to begin.
Peace and Love
The bond of Love
We share
Can never be broken
And
The memory
Of
One so loved
And
Loving
Will never be
Forgotten

No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.

We come to see
The beauty in nature
Here, for all
To see.
Just take a breath
Look around
See
All the magnificence
That nature has given
To you, to me

Snow flies
And we answer
Why? Why?
Blizzards blow fierce white
Changing darkness
Into a brilliant seeing night.
Cold with icicles
Dripping down
Covering a frigid, frozen ground.
Rivers run underneath
A covering of ice and snow
Sometimes more than a foot deep.
We live thru this
We
We do exist.

Things happen
I don’t know why
Placing me in places
Sometimes sad
Sometimes I even cry.
Then the heavens open up
Raining down
Blessings warm and bountiful
Covering everything
Everything all around.

Once again I write
What I see
What I’m to hear as the words
Begin to be.
Sometimes so great
Sometimes just grim
But all those words need
Need to be written.
Spoken in text
To those that need them
Those to who
They were meant to be given.
