Poem from December 2014 for Throwback Friday
An old man whistles
as he shuffles down the sidewalk
Each step an effort
The effects of time
his constant companion
A well-lived life
his source of inspiration
His old dog
limps along beside him
Each step an effort
Still he follows
A loyal companion
His well-lived life
with his gentle Master
They make quite a pair
A familiar site
As they make their way
from here to there
Each of us smiling
wondering where they go
as they pass by
while the old man
whistles
