Author’s mutt, Happy
Happy, the love of my life
Everything was perfect about you except you were a runaway kid
When you went missing without my knowing
I did not relent as I went searching
Such a small creature could create so much upheaval in my being
At one point, I became so good at philosophizing
That I could handle a new beginning
But deep down, there was no pretending
That this event was too heartrending
When suddenly, a white shadow darted right
I leapt from the car and grabbed the mutt
By now, all terror stricken by the ‘wild’
But both of us were glad you were back in my arms like a child.
Thank God!
