JOYOUS JOY

(08 May 2001- 25 May 2010)

Chit chatting, I walk, with my

dear companion by my side,

we share the days simple delights,

and over some random things we fight.

On the tracks, I stop for him

He pauses, while I try to keep pace.

He often looks back at me waiting,

While, at times he glides towards me,

As if skating.

We amble usually,

Enjoying the beauty, the

Freedom and the break from duty.

Some nice words I have for him,

Some special songs he sings for me.

Together when the sun sets,

We walk away in each others company.

He is my best buddy,

Always happy to greet me

Be it morning or night

Even minutes without me seem to him

An eternity.

Him, I dearly love, unconditionally,

My dearest dove.

To lift up the curtains and clear the fog,

I declare, my companion is my MOST loved dog!

His name is Joy,

Master in singing, though

Publically shy!

He is friend to all, never disappointing

And happy even in a brawl!

An uncanny sense of humour he sports.

His special ways of thanking ,

Loving his share of biscuits and coats!

Running in his amiable stride,

He is my old time crush, my love, my pride!

He unfailingly woke up nights with me,

While I studied he listened intently.

Love, he does, his share of food,

And trust me, you’l always find

Him in a happy mood.

My lovey dovey lil child he is,

On his cheek, there is always a kiss.

He is a baby not born, but raised by me

He is what I call, my happiness key! 

And now..

Heres to You God

I give You my sweet child

To look after and keep him from crying

Send him back to me one day

To nurture him into another

Flower of May.
