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
