CHAUCIE ONE MORE TIME

Chaucer

You are the personification of the perfect companion.
A virtuoso of charm and decorum
blended into golden bonds of harmonious affection and friendship.

The epitome of a gentleman
your strength is in your silence.
The gentle nature in which you reach out.
The love and serenity in your eyes
calm even the toughest of hearts.

You are my guardian angel too -
never more than several steps away.
Understanding human frailties seems to be your niche in everyday life.

How I love your company in the kitchen.
And always tucked away somewhere in my office
ready to answer my call for help in this stressful life.

You are the perfect answer to a couple of aging, doting old folks
who find talking to a dog makes more sense than
dealing with the craziness of modern man and his complex gadgets.

We have a long road ahead of us - you and I.
Somehow I am assured that you will lead me in the right direction
and when I get off on the wrong path,
you will gently nudge me back .

I have the security of knowing that you will be keeping a watchful eye
on my coming and going, aware that I am slowly turning frail
and my judgment is not as keen as it used to be.

Thank you my friend and dear, dear companion.
How lucky I am to have found you.

Katie 12 / 99
