Jerusalem

Feeling so blessed away from
thee abuse being battered taunted 
today I sit with my two red poodles 
brando and ruby they love me 
unconditionally making sure I am 
hugged affectionately constantly 
sinfully indulging in my favorite chocolate 
Toblerone bites sipping a warm 
Glogg finally feeling safe watching 
springtime form in a far off distance 
over looking colorful homes in Lebanon

Hello Cocoa:This sounds like a perfectly idyllic place to be and Ruby and Brando giving lots of affection. I like the phrase, “watching springtime form off in a distance.” Lovely read for me. SuZ

A very heartfelt poem Cocoa. Glad to hear you feel safe and have your sweet little dogs to cuddle and hug. Our pets are such sweet little souls. P.S. I enjoy Toblerone too. Enjoy your weekend dear Cocoa :-)
