POETRY

A faithful companion

“Life is not an easy road. But, with the right companion, we can make it a joy ride.”

I’m by her side
As she surfs new turf;
I am her guide
Leading her to scenic locales.
I am her friend
Through moments tense and carefree;
I overextend
To cover her splurges across the sea.
I am a domestic dog
Wagging my tail at her lovingly,
Needing an occasional tug
When I decide to throw a fit.
I walk by her
Day and night,
I’m there for her
When no one’s in sight.
She can find in me
The things she thought she lost —
She can discover in me
Delightful surprises from her past.
I am a journal
Only she can read,
And smile like a crazed criminal
In mirth, in joy, in ecstatic pleasure;
I am a painting
Whose beauty only she can understand.
For others, I’m just a ragged old thing
As all they can see is a rickety travel bag.
