A Boy And His Dog

 
Over the hill

a boy and his dog

a laugh and a bark

youth with its spark


At the bottom a bed

with no healing hand

to visit his dreams

with fate's useless schemes


Beyond the hill

the dog runs alone

with skies and trees

the end with disease

Author's Note
Some years ago, I saw a documentary on CBC television about two boys stricken with leukemia and confined to hospital. In the beginning, a boy is pictured running with his canine companion.  I pondered for a moment, about all those hustlers from various realms pushing their elixirs in the media.  No matter, the two boys eventually succumbed and at the program's conclusion a dog is seen running--alone.
