Poetry is Power: Dogs are friends forever

 

Dogs,

Are friends,

Are love,

Are happiness,

Are fun,

Are companions.

Dogs are amazing,

They are so important to our lives,

They brighten things up when it gets dark.

They are always our friends,

They listen to us,

They are always positive and wanting to play,

They tell us that everyone needs a friend,

And it’s the truth,

We all need a friend in this world,

And dogs are great at being friends.

Maybe they are trying to teach us a lesson,

Trying to tell us,

That everyone needs a friend,

And we can help with that,

We can be,

Kind and caring,

Thoughtful and patient,

We can be friends,

Just like the dogs,

Because dogs are,

Friends forever.

It never felt like this before. My chest was in the right position and wasn’t getting bounced backward every few turns.

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
