This stunning photograph taken by Younger Daughter simply begged for a poem, and I have tried to avoid making this one a Really Awful Rhyme.
Two companions, in the greatest harmony,
Share a magic moment in their lives,
Seated, both, considering the timeless sea,
Dreaming as each wave the scene contrives.
Though, in fact, of different species they may be –
Canine, one; the other, human child –
Yet can there be found a perfect empathy,
As, with senses by the scene beguiled,
They are seen to open, with a mystic key,
Means whereby all things are reconciled.
Could one find the route to such pure unity;
Read the contemplation in each mind;
Have such co-existence with impunity;
Universal peace one well might find.

Ah yes, that is gorgeous 🙂 I could easily kidnap those two cuties! (well, not easily really – would require much travelling and planning – hahaha).

Capturing would be another logistical problem. Don’t let that pose fool you – they can both move like lightning! 🙂

Gorgeous photo and poem, Col. Children are so naïve and pure – and now and then it does last.

Thank you. I hope it does, in her case. Although, it must be said that she has a good helping of Irish devilment in her makeup!

The pic simply wowed me. There is another of her hugging the dog, but to me it didn’t have quite the same impact.
