DOG BREATH: 21 DAYS OF POETRY, DAY 16

FOREVER 

Our little white dog

Got a blood draw yesterday

Her liver count was elevated

At her last check up

If her liver count is still elevated

I am going to have to tell her 

I love her at least 1 million times a day

And since as far as she knows

She is going to live forever

And chase mice in the neighbor’s ivy

Forever

I will go with forever

Forever is just fine today

For us and our little white dog
