I've met so many people
In this one lifetime
Befriending faces and so many names
Often only for but brief, moments
A few will stick around for a while
Rarest are for a life time
All with qualities, short-comings
and vis-versa, but none closer to perfect  
Devotion from one person to another
is a rare blessing to be had
But from mans' best friend it's a given
To a man that friend devotes all of his attention
Always ready and willing to lather on the affection
Happy with just the pat on his soft head, with it, he is in heaven
Will I ever know another soul like him?

One that will never purposely harm or mistreat me for no good reasons?
In my opinion that answer is a resounding NO
No, not man, not a woman, no human not ever
Because not a man alive could ever handle the heart of our dogs' burden
That of our best friends, of our k9 companions
Unselfish, and unquestioning devotion will never be a humans
No, our burden is simply the curse that we out live them
So that as they pass from where we know and love them,
Into the place that we can not simply look down and pat them

I pray that place has someone just as awesome waiting for them
Someone who makes them a world to live in and celebrates every second they share with them
Asking nothing back from them... And While we all just keep going on...
Heartbroken, but profoundly and fiercely proud to have ever known them.
We might hope and pray daily...

One day, when it's our day... Might just be when,
we look down and again
there we find that beloved friend... Right then,
and realize that heart has never forgotten...
Smiling at us... Tail wagging...
Because this time he knows we'll never separate from him.
As we both walk on as is destined.
When the hard work is done,...
Distractions of living are all gone...
Finally we can pay them their due attention.

And never be mean,.. nor take them again for granted...
Only believe in... nor be separated from them...
It'll be our time together in what surely must be heaven.

Dogs hearts will forever be the greatest love, this man will ever learn to miss so badly...
As I will. I will miss you so very badly Scrappy, and you too Toby. Good Doggies!... I'll only regret every day I must live with out them. Til my work too is finished boys... Till then enjoy your new friends.
your poppa...
Jack.

Our Legacy is created when she,
Welcomes me then,
accepts me, letting me in.
Into the palace of all beings.
Where she, then,
Bathes me,
in a wonderful warmth
And she, loves me, she,
Makes me feel amazing,
She is so special,
Makes me so very grateful.
I spill forth and I am let free.
A ritual becomes complete
When she, then Following the pleasure,
She makes real now,
The very Proof to,
Everything, Legacies,
She creates this,
She is the way of things
Later it is felt,
and then later is seen,
She carries our future, she
Gives us our future,
Her gift is our treasure,
creation we will soon see.
Deeply beneath is the treasure,
She keeps safe, she carries,
A bid for kinds future,
she writes our next chapter,
One day she cries out,
She bleeds and provides all,
that ever should matter,
She births a Legacy,
A child arrives in laughter,
Made by her made by me
The way it’s always been.
Pray forever it shall be
As is the way to everything.
It is everything. Everything.
She is our Legacy.
With out her we won't be.
It is everything that matters,
Our Legacy, Comes from she.

Me, I’m not the same
Not the enemy
Not to blame
Me, I’m not a lover
Not a friend
I’m not that man
Not in touch
Me, I am nothing
Maybe today I am
Maybe,
I am anything but,
Noticed
Me, I'm not seen
Not lost,
I am clueless, foolish
Me, I am surrender
Truly meant to be
Me, I am always
An ending to a chapter
Maybe, I am not
Might be I turn out, maybe
For me, I will always be
Just that,
Maybe.  That is me.

Lonely you
Stare up
Alone in the dark
Listening too.
A lonely soul song,
Playing out,
A melody,
Lonely thoughts.
The singer knows.
Unfamiliar, yet,
Both so similar,
Affecting you tonight.

Rewind.
Yeah.
It seems like,
The rhythm of the drums.
Yeah,
It feels like,
The Guitar being plucked.
Yeah,
Feels just like,
A spotlight upon you.

Lonely too,
And the words,
They define you.
The lonely souls song,
Cries beside you.
The singer knows.
Like you,
He tried too.
Now there is a hole,
That is where “we” died.
The lonely soul song.

Rewind.
Yeah.
It seems like,
The rhythm of the drums.
Yeah,
It feels like,
The Guitar being plucked.
Yeah,
Feels just like,
A spotlight upon you.

She
Sheds love.
Void of emotions;
Me
I love with all my heart
Foolishly old fashioned.
My time is not,
Made of the ways I face each day.
I am not built
Nor am I okay with throw away love.
But she,
I saw her change.
Just a flip of a switch
And she walked away.
Differences.

This life
From the very start of it
I've been told
Brainwashed
Molded
I must fall in love
In love I will be happy
Happiest endings will come if in love
All with their silver linings
Picture perfect
And that's what I wanted
Thought I had found it
Fought so hard
Then lost it
It was after that
This life felt
Less like what I wanted.
