Lonely on days
Others celebrate in and out.
For a day of hearts
Is also a day in absence.
Take a moment
In quiet presence.
Whether human or not
2 legs or 4.
Scales or feathers
Sentience for sure.
As we're grateful and loving
Thankful for our own.

Footballs,baseballs,rocks,apples off the tree in our back yard and in the winter when everyone else would go sleigh riding I would try to pick them off with snowballs. I once threw our house key into the lock on the door from about 6 feet away. I saw that done in an old movie when this gangster did it and I just had to see if I could. I set a small...
