Heath

Back feet splayed.
He lowers himself.

I know he is in pain.
But he raises his grey muzzle

And looks me in the eyes
And I know he knows I am the same.
  
He comes for comfort and I 
Put both hands on the sides of his face

And know  I can infuse the love and memories
of all the good years we have had.

I believe the touch has some magic.
Heath is resting now and tomorrow is another day

For both of us.
