Poem -
human shaped small
possibly strange to retire from life
from that knock on a door
from the platitude bores
to have found that aloneness
can't be criticised
for there is no outrageousÂ
if nobody spies yet,
to find a new present
in green eyes of catÂ
an acceptance of selfÂ
which is no more than that
in the brown eye of dog
in the measure of love
that has no name at all
is not human shaped small
is not earthly or godly
is not of this world
and in paws held to me
there is pure sanctuaryÂ
for such grief, yes
we are still outrageous

Animals are healers to humans, and this is just gorgeous I can feel the very appreciation you have for these animals, they keep you in company, and in any case a very strong woman never minds to be alone, yet with your animals who give you everything you need but words. Kudos my dearest Marion. Ps I don't have any animals but I have promised myself a dog next year. ❤️
You understand so well... my advice... get a dog. Who can live without a dog in their life? I've never been without for more that a few months. Could nit be without I suspect. Cats too. Thankyou Shirley x
this is rather special Marion .. I'm pretty sure I know where you are coming from ..
I have often thought if I could have chosen a different career, I think I would have liked to have been a vet .. surrounded by animals and making the unwell and unloved feel better, wanted and loved .. x
Then we think alike. I tried once to be a vet nurse ... didn't work out... having to feed the kids got in the way. I'm pretty sure you have helped enormously on this little planet Nev... maybe animals in the next life eh? X
That would make that life x
