Favorite Quote:
A dead man once told me, "To thine own self be true."


You have been there, for years
I can't complain
And yet I know the end is coming

Estimates have been made
And tears have rushed before

I just never realized how soon it could be

You are slower, I'll admit
But I always like to look at you as youthful

Your happy smile and sweet demeanor
Make me think it's impossible

But I look at you now,
And compare from a year ago

You have definitely declined

I should stop these morbid thoughts
And be glad you're here now
I know I can't always say that

So, I'm glad you're here
That your stomach still exists for me to bury my face in

I love you
I always will
But you are only here for now

My dog is 13 and I'm pretty sure this is her last New Years. Horrible, I know, but it's clear to see she's old.
