Happy Birthday
The biggest comfort I find in this life is knowing
I will keep meeting dogs all the way to the end.
On the street, at friends’, in my own home…
But on my dog’s 17th birthday I blow the candles for her and
still wish for a hundred more years because I love her the way
you love something that will only happen once in the story
of humanity.
This poem at first glance might sound simple and light but the last three lines sends you in a spiral of thought, it’s that deep.
