Two Way Dedication
On grassy field, with shady trees;
A lake to contemplate.
There is so much to discover,
and so much space to urinate.
An old man on a garden seat,
gives his time and quietly faces,
the drive of youth and freedom
in a young dog going places.
Two way dedication
becomes a lifelong bond
on a road that goes forever
then travels far beyond.
Time with it’s moving motion
won’t take a backward stride,
I prayed to God you hold on,
and Lord knows how you tried,
but I knew pain and suffering
were more than you could bear
so watching you was agony,
and totally unfair.
I know up there in heaven,
close to the pearly gates,
on the day that I arrive,
that’s where Tommy waits.
Two way dedication
becomes a lifelong bond
on a road that goes forever
then travels far beyond.
