Poetry
The Dog Has It
There is no yesterday in my life,
every moment is just a tail wagging opportunity
to please my master.
I live in the now, not yesterday,
dunno what tomorrow is, and don’t care.
Providing my master and family is happy with me. That’s it.
Love is all I care about; except a little food,
which I need just to love anyway,
as being hungry distracts me from my main job. Love … right now.
Did I mention I love you all.
Patience
Patience needs to be learned,
Like landing a plane,
slowing down from one speed to another’s.
Changing my mode from air to land;
bringing a mind into view
before comes the response.
This time I will try and slow down
and understand before flying by the person and
hurling a comment or another
for disturbing my peace.
Let me retain my peace in one hand
and hold this new thing … patience
in the other.
In joyful union.
