Shush now, my
Itty bitty, don’t cry
lie still, show me your smile
Early rising, quite the trial
Nestled at my chest
Closely is best, tightly swaddled
Earnestly coddled

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

This one is much happier, and dealing with the other end of life 🙌🏽 “Earnestly coddled” evokes such a happy picture:)
