..:::Bud:::..

I clinged to you,
And you stabled my first steps.
Each morning we napped in the sun,
Sharing each meal I threw from the table.
When I started to walk we would tumble together,
And you would bring me the mittens I dropped.
When I started to run we would race together,
We would go nowhere fast together, but hoping our time wouldn't end alone.
Those summer days under the porch together,
I thought would last forever.
My first day of preschool tore us apart,
But every day I would race home, and you would be there waiting.
You ran with me in the flowers,
And licked my tears away when my foot found a bees nest.
I took our time for granted,
Because with you time lasted forever.
You were my best Friend when we moved to Utah,
The only one who was never gone.
You would wait until I came home from school,
And listen with understanding ears.
We would run around our little back yard,
And climb the mountains that were always snowy.
But one day you couldn't run anymore,
And it hurt to see you limp.
Time went by so quickly,
But it wasn't over yet.
I loved you even more,
And brushed your hair softly in the breeze.
I turned a blind eye to your dilemma,
And saw no pain but beauty.
Maybe that's why our hourglass ran dry,
But your always in my dreams.
