This week I am choosing to  be lazy with my blog. After all, how often is it that someone composes a poem for you?  Nancy calls herself a closet poet (whatever that means?) so I hope I don’t get in trouble for sharing her poem!  I know she has written a massive amount of music poems, as well as poems about other dogs that have lived here.  To say that my heart was touched by her poem is an understatement.

Harmony’s Eyes (my dog)

she knew when I called her, it meant tons of hugs and love
sometimes, I think she even dreaded being cuddled
too much

so in sync we were that she didn’t need any cues
sometimes, I think she felt she looked too deep within
too much

she knew she could stare deep into my eyes forever
sometimes, it even made her a bit uncomfortable
too much

then, she knew that actually, it was never ever
too much
