“Dogs are our link to paradise.
They don’t know evil, or jealousy, or discontent.
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon
Is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring,
It was peace.”
Milan Kundera
I woke long before dawn
Feeling restless, and blue
One of my dogs understood
He knew exactly what to do
He rushed off, to fetch his leash
He stood there with it, at the door
He had a knowing look, in his eyes
Soon, I would have the blues no more
I quickly got dressed, and I followed him
He led me to my old truck, parked out back
Soon, he and I were heading off to the woods
He knew just how to ward off my blues attack
Each of my loyal canines has a truly unique personality
Each of them, knows how to cheer me up, in some way
My old Katrina pal, Tater, loves riding anywhere with me
He knew a trip to the woods, was what I needed yesterday
Several hours later, Tater and I had reached a favorite spot
High on a hillside, overlooking a most serene little blue lake
We sat there together, on a glorious summer’s day afternoon
Basking in nature’s glory, while my blues quickly faded away
I woke long before dawn,
Feeling restless, and blue;
One of my dogs understood,
He knew exactly what to do.
