I Will Walk There Again

created for me by my friend,



I will walk there again,
on those wild shores of my heart's home
and, when I do,
I will carry you there in my heart,
carry you back to where you ran and leaped 
among the waves in joy.
Then, finally,
we will both be 
Home.

for Mary's Tuesday prompt at dVerse: write about something you miss. The beach and Pup are the two things I miss, every minute of every day of my life.

  14. There is something comforting and uplifting about this poem, despite the sense of loss which permeates it. Very nicely balanced.

  16. Looks like Pup made it to 14; like 90+ in people years; not a bad canine romp. Such a heartfelt response to the "missing" prompt. My Taffy has been gone for a decade. Lovely to imagine all our dogs in "heaven", playing on golden beaches.
