| I see Mac, our Goldendoodle in the formation over the mountains here... (side of his face upper right, ear flapping, body stretched out in a run) |
I swear I've seen you
from the corner of my eye,
slip by on your way to the water bowl
or toward open front door to gaze
down curving, mountain road.
Seen you in clouds, fluffy ears flapping,
in the stars, jumping the gorge,
staring through the window to come inside -
for it’s hard to let you go.
* * *
I watched as you gazed
into the children's eyes, head resting
upon their knees. You were happy,
day filled with love, bacon,
a very slow, wobbly walk, lakeside.
Last look at all of us,
eyes still alert, but body too weak
for your big heart.

In those few seconds
when you looked at me, I could only try
and convey how much you meant
to my Mother's heart, thanked you
for loving my children all these years,
a gentle presence when I scolded,
a nudge when they needed a friend,
a tail that always said "Let's play!"
* * *
A blessing to be surrounded
by all those you love,
who love you, to have our smiles,
our voices, our hands over you
as we stayed and said
"Thank you, Dearest Friend",
as your spirit rose above us
and surely said the same.
