Put Down

,
Tiger 1999 – 2015

~

Bleak, with little optimism,

a choice made difficult,

yet years of joy,

sweet comfort on cold nights,

a steady whir of love in touch.

Now reality brings on a struggle,

the power of man

versus

nature’s course.

Whom might choose when age

knocks on the door,

though drawn by the beauty of endearment,

when will it be right to say a simple good bye.

        it has been a couple of really good writing days, I think it is because I know school is knocking on my door.
