Charlie

"Charlie"

Dedicated aged copper

A willing companion

Ready to streak atop the green of mother earth

With a bright blue or night sky backdrop

In pursuit of my laughter

And a good throw

Still

On another day

He is easily content

With just being within arm’s reach

So my hands

Can wander across his cotton candy golden soft fur

Lost in thought

About yesterday and tomorrow

He does not judge my missteps

And forgives my selfish moments

He just wants for me

Someone

Anyone to be there

He will likely be happier than any one person may ever be

Because of that very simplicity

Yet he is willing to do his best

To see me smile

Or just sit

Silent

By my side

He is the good of this world

Dedicated aged copper

A willing companion

Ready to streak atop the green of mother earth

With a bright blue or night sky backdrop

In pursuit of my laughter

And a good throw
