Where the heart ends
January 28, 2009 1
I watch you the day at the shop staring through the windows, sitting there pondering who is going to pick you up, send you home and give you undivided love.
Many people walked past, tapping on the window you were behind, making faces at you. You looked at a pair of warm hands picking you up, putting you in a car and bringing you to your home for the next 14 years of your life.
Placing you down in your new bed, placing you in a basin for your first bath, brought you your first toy, taking your first stroll.
"This is my friend, my master, my love. I will give you all my heart as long as you you give your heart to me. I want to grow old with you, lie beside you, be there for you, licking the sadness of your face, staring at you while you sleep. Be patient with me, for you are my only friend. I might make you angry from time to time to get your attention, or even chew your favorite sunglasses, it is all because I am trying to tell you to give me more love. Never put me away in a corner, never stop loving me for I will be your friend. I do not live long and for the next 14 years, I will be sitting beside your bed, waiting for your return each sunset. This is my promise to you"
I stood beside you while you had your first birth, I watched your first breast fed, I was there when you had your first operation. I will never leave you for long, wait for my return, I will never leave you. When you have your final days, I will be lying there beside you, accompanying you, holding you in my arms. This is my return promise to you.
"You and me will have many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me till the end you will promise, and hold me firm and speak to me for the last time. Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree it is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you who has to decide this thing to do. We've been so close — we three — these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears."
Have you ever wonder how true this statement "Birds of a feather flock together" is? Well, it is rather true.For instant, divers who enjoy traveling together to exotic destinations will come together and dive together. Divers who enjoy "cowboy" diving will also get together.
