Paw Pause

As we say grace around this table sadly some are just not able to fold their paws, to bow their head repeat the words as they are said and yet with reverence here they sit just happy to be part of it. A sip of tea, a muffin crumb some jelly licked off of a thumb a simple time shared with a friend it could become a yearly trend. /Rhyming Me A Poem 2 Poetry Contest /photo #4 ©10/28/2021

Deeply sensitive, John. Written with an extra dose of TLC, methinks. Right into my FAVES. Thank you, Gershon

Such a way with words. Love it! The more they hang around us, the more human they become. Don't know if that is so good -- I sort of like, their unconditional love and loyalty. A lick of jelly...an appreciative purr or yip -- a world of joy in such reaction. Delightful read, John!
