I wonder...

I walk my daughter to her school bus each morning. The walk is short and sweet. And so are the things around us :-)

There is this big pup (4-5 months), a stray, who rushes to us every morning, out of nowhere, wagging her whole body, not just her tail... almost as if we are her long lost family!

What is it that brings her to us with much gay abandon? How can she know we are dog lovers? Is it simply the smell of our pets on us? Or is it something more?

She's there till the school bus arrives, either sitting quietly at our feet or jumping around in glee, barking at anything that passes 😁

For those few minutes she's our watchdog, she's ours and we are her sole possession!

And when the bus finally leaves, its time for me to head off for my morning walk. I pat her on her head and she walks away to wherever she goes, with a simple honest smile on her lips and a soft wag of her tail...

I wonder :-)

One Love!

I see two eyes and a nose between,
You are my love, you are my queen,
You are always there to greet me dear,
Its because of you that I feel not fear!

You are my friend, my pal, my gal,
Be it winter, summer, spring or fall,
That tiny tail you wag when I call,
Be I near you or behind the wall!

Your large eyes always follow me around,
Be I on the terrace or on the ground,
You hear my slightest little sound,
And straight for me you happily bound!

You are my gift, my toy,
My bundle of joy,
It doesn't matter if you are a girl or a boy,
My friend for always, until the day I die!

For my dogs... Blackie, Lilee and the others who are somewhere else now...
