It is Thunder’s Birthday! He is two and for a fun blog, I wrote a poem about him when he was a puppy, enjoy then and enjoy the photo of him now! Have a happy Friday!
Thunder
this beautiful nightmare
came covered in all black,
his tawny colored eyes with
a storm of understanding
in world i hadn’t known yet
but he is more patient than i
to teach my nerves
tightly wound in my body
to stay steady in front of the herd
to overcome the obstacle
of oneself in life
not too fast
not too slow
be formidable while awake
the shadow of an avalanche
facing a daunting challenge
set by his steady gaze
his steady heart
his never-ending loyalty to waiver
telling me when i sleep
don’t’ be discouraged by my
lack of forgiveness
one day soon
one step near
one breath closer
i will become the best friend
you need me to be
“the shadow of an avalanche” is lovely verse-
