if it were near darkness
i’d just want to be with you.
stroking your beautiful coat,
feeling warm aura hues.

mortality motivates and centers,
a balancing dance of gratitude.
wistfully tearing up, momentarily,
of a time i’d have to bid adieu.

if my angels continue their kisses, 
i’d likely outlive you.
and with that heartbreak gift i’d cherish,
and continue to help all pups 
for you…

sweet darling link – love you.
