Poem for Tink

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

My new love’s a dog

Her legs are but two

Together we play,

We more than have fun

She bounces to find me

Boy, can she run!

Some say we’re disabled

But not Tink and I

We play like all others

The time it does fly

She stands on two legs

And I stand on just  three

Two kindred spirits,

Tink and Just Me

For those that “tink” Tink

Is not more than just swift

Let me remind you

To me she’s a gift

What limbs one’s endowed with

Is not really the point

It’s what in our hearts

That our souls do anoint

So Tink is my playmate

And also my love

A two -legged doggie

Sent down from above

Forget what is missing

Be here and now

Count all your blessing

We’ll show you how

So all you dear humans

Who come watch us play

Remember what matters

Live fully each day!
