Pets

Our pets got old.
We all acted surprised.
When we had puppies and kittens…
They were playful and unstoppable.
So were we.
As they settled down-
We graduated high school.
As they got weak and scraggly-
We graduated collage.
Now we take turns sending our condolences.
Our friendships changed.
Our pets loved us all the way home.

Dear Angelica, your poem is beautifully bittersweet. I have experienced the same thing in my life. You express life's ebb and flow with lovely milestones in time that are both elating and distressing. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
