Lost Dog

My dog ran off, and so we chased.

Into the woods, Jack and I race.

A dreamlike world, nothing is clear.

Things disappear and reappear.

Nothing is lost, only misplaced.

The barking sound I thought I heard,

Was the flapping wings of a bird.

“Look over here, Jack,” I exclaim.

Confused, he says, “That’s not my name.”

My son says things that sound absurd.  

Proud to be father of this lad,

I lose sad thoughts of what I had.

I say, “Listen for the dog’s cries.”

My boy looks at me and replies,

“We should go back and find my dad.”

The Way Back

I’d forgive your mistakes,

If it meant you would stay.

How can I go to sleep,                                                                                   

When dreams are far away?                                                      

Please do not forget me.

You will find me some day.

To find your way tonight,

I’ll make the path seem bright,

By keeping on the light.

I am always with you.

I’m the ache in your heart.

I’ll heal yours. You’ll heal mine.

We will not be apart.

Don’t know why you left me.

We could make a fresh start.

You can still make things right.

I’ll wait all through the night,

And I’ll keep on the light.
