Angel Love
Tiny, crawling to find a teat to suckle
My first memory of you
New Year’s Eve
Fireworks: I protect you, I hold you tight
Your first memory of me
Our honeymoon: a trip to the mountains
Tiny puppy cuddled at my feet
Such a beautiful memory
Late-night role playing
Dice rolling everywhere
Food! You think … and swallow
Emergency surgery
Watching over you all night
A scary memory
Two, three, four … Boerboel
You, tossed around from one to the other
Another scary memory of you
Five, six, seven … Pekingese
Abused and afraid; you showed them peace and happiness
How proud I am of you
Eight, nine, ten … years
Jumping Jack no more
How calm you have become
Eleven, twelve, thirteen … time ticks
I call your name
It falls on deaf ears
Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen …
Old eyes see no more
Your paws shuffle through the house
Seventeen …
You’re an angel
You are Mitsukai
