I Know
She rises and encourages our two dogs
to go out, then turns and tells me
she almost called out for Tuffy to join them.
We lost our very good boy just recently.
I said “I know.” We both turned and understood
in an unspoken way we would still be seeing him
for some time to come, as we led all three out
to do their business in their favorite spots before bed.
