On my 67th birthday
I started the day as usual by taking
my blue eyed
husky
for a walk around Silver Creek pond. We look
for the mother duck and her ducklings. We
stop to watch the swallows going this way
and that way and listen to all the birds
singing their early morning tunes.
The maintenance man working on
one of the high school ball fields calls out
“That's a handsome looking husky you got
there.” I call back “He is a good boy, and he
likes to get out early for his walk, although
sometimes I would prefer to stay in
my cozy bed.”
He laughs, I laugh. Our early morning
laughter seems to harmonize perfectly with
the songbird tunes for this morning.
It’s a good way to start my 68th year on this here earth.
