A Past Friend

A Past Friend

The Lab was called Goldie.
I know dogs don’t smile,
but he seemed to always.
Come in the door and there he was,
jumping playfully with happy clatter.
Always happy to see you or anyone
who came.   Be petulant and his feelings
were hurt but he quickly forgave.
Goldie didn’t ask for much,
a bit of food, companionship,
a spot to sleep and a place to romp.
He didn’t think he was a person,
he thought people were other dogs.
I learned a lot from that dog.

I made this mono-print for "the year of the dog"
