~ sagged jowls speckled with tinsel flop as raindrops jump and fly ~ after sad dark eyes seek my own momentarily joined both of us sigh ~ his body is lumped with tumor his breathing ravaged by time I look down and well up soon I will lose my friend ~ from a 10 week old fuzz ball unwilling to walk down stairs to a 13 year old lab-mastiff unwilling to go peacefully… my heart breaks my head swims at the thought my old dog’s life will soon end /

Losing Jimmy
~ sagged jowls speckled with tinsel flop as raindrops jump and fly ~ after sad dark eyes seek my own momentarily joined both of us sigh ~ his body is lumped with tumor his breathing ravaged by time I look down and well up soon I will lose my friend ~ from a 10 week old fuzz ball unwilling to walk down stairs to a 13 year old lab-mastiff unwilling to go peacefully… my heart breaks my head swims at the thought my old dog’s life will soon end /
