Companion

COMPANION Countless hours, time no concern Side by side, how much we’ve learned Through ups and downs and thick or thin We march together, new tales to spin No longer a canter, your gait without pep Rumors mills churning Have you lost a step? Senses diminished, speckles of white Onward we push, onward we fight Betrayal of age, the cycle of life Sauntering quietly, causing much strife Our hearts melded solid, our thoughts are as one Losing the battle but war has been won Not always together, at times on our own Filling days with dreams we have grown Dreams of nirvana, dreams of gold Dreams spent together Never get old Someday I know our paths must part Furry fellow dear to my heart One knows a place where dreams come true Side by side, just me and you
