How polite you are,

Making a good impression

If only they knew

Through simple pleasures

I live vicariously

Sharing the moment

Wishing for a thing

Even believing in it

does not make it so

Your eyes, a mirror

Reflecting parts of myself

I wish I could see

How far you have come

and far you have yet to go -

But I know you can

Contrasting the sky

with bright bursts of orange and gold

Autumn at its peak

Regaining the trust

Requires moving forward

But do not forget

Seize the waning day

Grateful for the here and now

Bright eyes, soft evening

Of what does one dream

When one is living the dream

In the waking world?

Seeker of comfort

The joy of simple pleasure

All I need is here

Ray of morning light

Soft blanket and soft puppy

Total contentment

Along for the ride

He gazes out the window

We go together

Bow your legs in play

Look around for squeaky toy

LIttle curly tail

Trusting of safety

When once you were uncertain

of what lay ahead
