The old dog shudders for a moment Then completes his drawn out breath Then the shudder returns again Soon he will meet his death
It grieves me so that I cannot fix you So much tragedy has clung to us of late But you won't imbibe hardly a bite And it doesn't bode well for your fate
I know that time will take us all But I'm not ready to let you go Here want a steak? Want this ball? Why do you lie there breathing slow?
Get up old man and gnaw this bone You can have whatever you desire One more walk and one more bath One more lie-down by the fire
You were so loyal lonesome friend So soft and kind and warm and true And I do not like to face the end Especially this, the end of you
My mother, is strong like an island. Her stretched islet arms merges with my waters. She comforts me, when my sea world is rough. She stabilizes me with grace, giving self a place to land. My mom, strong as rock loves me. And I love her.
Someone slams your precious art Remain Open Callously pokes and prods your heart Remain Open The world wants you to close the door Remain Open Wants you curled up on the floor *Remain Open
