Our family dog Toby passed away yesterday after 14+ years of making our lives better with his bold and charming presence. My dad was the one to bring him home to us all those years ago, and yesterday he was the one who took him on his last ride. Nothing will ever replace the bond they had, so I'm immortalizing it the best I can in words (though there's never enough).
Rest easy, Toby. We miss you so much bud.
Joyride
do you know what I think
is the best feeling in the world?
going on a joyride
with you.
the simple pleasure of the
world passing by in shades of green
morning sun shining down
while your arms hold me is
better than
a fresh bowl of chicken and rice
cool grass on a summer night
sweeter than
peanut butter from a spoon
long naps in the afternoon
warmer than
movies by the crackling fire
your arms as they lift me higher
higher than my hands can reach
farther than my feet can leap
I grow tired of running
my days of walking are
crawling to an end
all I want now is for you to
lift me
carry me
take me
on one more joyride
with you.
