My Security Blanket
Lucky has been there for me through so many life events, joyous and painful. Lucky has known the best of times, when I hopped on bareback and twirled my fingers through his mane, and the worst of times, when his mane dried my tears. I can’t take Lucky with me everywhere I go, but he is always with me in spirit (and I usually have some of his hair with me too!)
This is Lucky’s mane (my security blanket):

And raw emotion pours forth without a veil
I reach for you
In times of joy
We fly together
In times of sorrow
You absorb my tears
Turning your black hair grey
Blind now in your old age
You still see depths in me that even I don’t understand
My apple and carrot offerings
Are no match for the gifts you give.

Animals of all kinds give so much of themselves. It is a tribute worth giving back. Well done.

Beautiful words and expression CB…I know how you feel, I felt like that about my labrador Bess. Animals make magnificent and steadfast companions.

Thank you Georgie. Animals certainly are amazing. I am sure Bess is still watching over you. :)
