A True Friendship

A crumb from the donut
a piece of toast
that’s all it takes
no need to boast.
A scratch on the ear
a pat on the head
a quiet “good doggies”
no more said.
A walk in the park
a ride in the car
no need to go fast
no need to go far.
Always there
happy and content
a tried and true friendship
no need to invent.
