EIGHT IN DOG YEARS
My dog and me are both the same age.
Eight in dog years, last birthday.
We've reached that time in our lives,
when the aging process is well underway.
Unwanted grey hairs and white whiskers.
Creaking joints with aching bones.
Tired, sore eyes, flabby jowls,
grumpy disposition, fluctuating hormones.
Our ages will never match again.
It will only happen once in our lifetime.
When September comes along this year,
Milly's dog years will be nine.
We'll continue to grow old side by side.
Although she'll soon be older than me.
Together, we'll stroll gently in the forest.
Together, we'll walk slowly by the sea.
