You Rang?...

A scruffy reminder is what i need,
     someone to sit on the car seat beside me
Sometimes a walk alone through the woods
     i have come to know as my second home
is too much for me to bear...

Someone who will always be there
     happy to see me, seeming to care
with sad eyes like mine i've seen
     most everywhere i go
and yet i am alone...

Silence is not always golden
     echoes of laughter, if i may be so bold
as to remind you not all kindness
     is returned in kind
but pure love comes
     in many forms;
a nose that's cold,
     a coat that's warm
very nearly since the First Dawn;
     strange friends indeed...
