Each day during Lenten season
I sent a letter of appreciation
To one of forty people who
Make my life better just by
Being in it.
Giving accolades to those
Who bless my life was easy
The hard part was limiting
My list to only forty
Dear family and friends.
Today is “Silent Saturday”
The last day of Lent –
The day before Easter –
The last of my accolades –
And it goes to TazE.
Yes, I am truly blessed
By the presence of this
Four-legged furry friend
Who makes my life better by
Being in it.
Happy Lent, little friend
Dear and precious “Man Dog”
If only I could learn to be
As unconditionally loving
As you are!
Thank you for your kisses
Thank you for your cheer
Thank you for lifting me
Whenever you are near
Happy Easter!
