The Day Will Come

Today, you're only three,
Still full of raw puppy energy.
You follow me, high and low,
With every wag, a happy hello. One day, you won't follow quite so,
Your love still strong, yet energy low.
You'll watch me with older eyes,
A future I hate to visualise. I don't want you to age,
For life to turn another page.
I want us to play ball, hearts content,
Each moment a treasured segment.
Do not age, my poodle darling,
I cannot bear the thought of your passing.
Through mists of time, along life's road,
This is indeed a heavy load. by Laurel Alper © July 2025
