Crazy As

A couple weeks ago we lost an old friend and family member. So, this week’s for man’s best friend and my daughter’s broken heart…

Contemplating crazy…

   Crazy As

Hurricane. No breeze
Crazy as he was still he
Was eager to please

Contemplating perspective…

   Matter’s Not

Her roaming steady
Matters not rain, shine, or snow
Comes in when ready

By the Door

Contemplating in her own good time…

   By the Door

All the business done
The boys sit by the door but
Lil’ girl dorks for fun

Boys hop in the door
While little girls roams the yard
I call and implore

We Grieve

Contemplating grief…

   We Grieve

Wishing it a lie
But knowing it’s not we grieve
More tears and goodbyes

Feelings encumbered
The joy and the hurt of it
He’ll be remembered

His Champion

Contemplating care…

   His Champion

Late a kid cries out
And a dog runs to protect
Snuggled in. Love so stout

Then his dog choking
Kid comforts his champion
Murmurs and stroking

At Peace

Contemplating strength…

   At Peace

Departing the vet’s
A young son comforts his mom
He’ll run. Heaven lets

Him join his brother
In heaven he’ll be at peace
It’s ok mother…

For Him

Contemplating the right thing…

   For Him

Panting and nervous
The meds got to go. For him
What’s right he trusts

If his time is short
Should not make him suffer more
For him. Now more short

Might Help

This week’s for a loyal and huge heart and for those that love him. There will be some tears as we prepare to say goodbye…

Contemplating hope…

   Might Help

The news is so sad
But medicine might help for
A while not so bad

Contemplating pain…
