Always Stubborn

I smear your paw prints by mistake. 

As I follow your paw-steps. 

You are stubborn as always. 

Even as you slow down with age…

You try to hide instead of run. 

When you were young- our chases were simply for play. 

Now you are acting like you need hide to be safe-

Even from your own family. 

Weaving and stumbling through old age. 

We try to guide you. 

But you are stubborn as always.
