POEM:
Though I cherish
the quiet I have earned,
there are days I miss
the whisper of animals
all around me
Youthful energy
bounding in,
I’m easy to please
I’m easy to forgive
Nervous purr, saying
Do what you must,
just be quick
just be gentle
Next come the sick
cradled in worried arms –
such a clamor of voices,
and love that fills the room
I must listen carefully
as hands move head to tail
in practiced form,
searching for hidden clues,
searching for how to heal
But most of all, I miss
the old and infirm
who speak to me
in quiet tones
of all their frailties
Then lay their
weary heads in my lap
telling me,
It’s time
to go home
All the whispers I have heard
All the animals I have known
