My great-niece and her dog
are the best of friends.
After a hard day of work
in the first grade,
Reagan has fun with her dog, Henry,
playing catch ball in the yard,
splashing in the lake
(with Mama watching),
and singing a merry tune.
There's nothing to worry about,
homework all done,
just running and jumping
with a girl's best friend.
Joy and song,
catching golden leaves
as they twirl and turn
on gusts of wind,
like birds let loose from their cages,
little Reagan and Henry are
two of the best buddies:
a girl and her dog savor
the lovely season of fall.
--Brenda Kay Ledford
I hope all my blogger friends will have a lovely fall and enjoy this beautiful season.
Some call it autumn, others call it God!
