HEARTBEAT AT MY FEET

The old dog lies there
Curled up in sleep
Twitching and dreaming
Heartbeat at my feet

Dreaming of
Other days
Younger days
Heartbeat at my feet

Of days filled
With fun
In the sun
Heartbeat at my feet

Of days free of pain
From old age and
Its cruelties
Heartbeat at my feet

Soon, her pain is gone
Mine has just begun
And no longer is there
Heartbeat at my feet.

--Anne Pirie
