Two of a Kind
Two peas in a pod....they are two of a kind
I can't help but smile, while I sit on the stump
By the old front porch, and watch them romp
In the warm autumn sun, on the cool green grass
Of the vast front yard ....where I clear my mind
This granddaughter, fair, and our golden lab
How can the same spirit flow from here to there?
From canine to child, as they dance the dance
And prance the prance, as if one and the same
As they play their game....as if souls have exchanged
I shake my head, wondering.... which is which?
With Claire hollering as loud as I imagine she can
Quince wags his tail, like a circular fan...
If she could wag and he could holler
They would gladly trade places, I'll bet you a dollar
Claire running in circles, and he follows her lead
Claire jumping high, and he tries to exceed
Two of a kind, with spirits to spare
That can cause one to laugh or pull out your hair
From my perch by the porch, I'm watching them play
Love is so simple, without words needing said
Filled with such spirit, two peas in a pod
Love is so simple, just watch it unwind...
Just as God made them...they are two of a kind........
