A Dog on His Master by Billy Collins
As young as I look, I am growing older faster than he, seven to one is the ratio they tend to say.
Whatever the number, I will pass him one day and take the lead the way I do on our walks in the woods.
And if this ever manages to cross his mind, it would be the sweetest shadow I have ever cast on snow or grass.
Oh, that is sweet. It just makes me sad to realise how very many people don't think like that, and will never have the close bond with their dogs that we do.
ReplyDeleteLoving the verse.
