I saw a good friend today

while on my morning walk

she ran up to me to say hello

and as I sat down, she curled up in my lap,

looking for a hug

giving me kisses
we were both making quite a fuss
over each other
we were both exchanging quite a bit of
happy

she had a little more grey showing

I guess she thought the same of me

neither of us said anything to each other

other than to be so glad to have the chance to visit

every morning, she would jump up on the bed,

starting the day with happiness and energy

and a little doggie snuggle

I taught her how to play frisbee

this game, and toys, were new to her

she was the kind of friend who indulged you

on your birthday

or on girls' nite

she'd never miss a party, an event

or even a quilt show

a true friend

"isn't it amazing, how they remember,"

her walking friend asked?

(hULa used to live here, but one day, moved away)

"Remember," I asked?

"How do you forget love?"
