Been apart for a while , but
Really you never forget family
Out on the green fields
Two siblings meet, for the first time in a while
Happy to see each other, with
Eager calls and sniffs
Ready to run after one another for
Simply enjoying the moment

Summer sees me ignore the cirrus and and stratus
Taking in the rays peering through summers marshmallows
Reality is – something’s been smiling floating in the air
A smiling cloud, happy in the blue
Tears ? not today…and when Ra gets a little bit to fierce
A fluffy cloud and his chums are there to provide a bit of cover
Education has produced a vast population
They spend twelve months
teaching children to walk and then talk
and the next twelve years
teaching them to sit down and shut up
when all you have to do
is teach them all to read
its a source of amusement and fun
to happy little minds

They say he’s a mongrel
a lower class
not to the standard of the pedigrees
But this cur has much more to offer
than those pedigree chums in the kennels
look at that swagger – look at the smile
loyalty to his owner that sticks out a mile
And while pedigrees are pampered
he’s wagging his tail – in garden wi a stick
chasing down chew toys
compared to pedigrees – he’s quick!

Another day goes by
Another crease forms on the face
A new laughter line joins by the eye
Age they say is a concept
You can be young – even after fifty,
Experts say (at the age of thirty)
I smile at that assertion
as i look at next doors pug – wrinkly and ruffled
Old age hasn’t bothered him – he still chases around the garden
Every memory can be triggered
Veils of happy tears and wonderful times at an
Occasion such as a cousins wedding
Kept safe in the head until
Engaged by a sight , sound or even a smell
