Zelda
Companion
and protector
comedian and
mischief maker,
shredder of
garbage
digger of
gardens,
she of
guilty eyes
and wagging
tail
grows old in
front of me.
Hesitant of
step
except where
squirrels are involved,
failing
sight and hearing
unless forbidden
treats are unattended,
still joyous
doorway greetings
and toys
flung across the room,
canine
behavior once taken for granted,
and sung in
poem and story,
now
cherished as time counts down.
