the old dog

the old dog
was once the new
dog.
fresh and limber
jumping onto
the bed,
eyes bright,
his bark
loud and strong.
the old
dog sniffs
at his food,
sleeps fitfully
and stares
out the window
neither waiting
or wanting,
his eyes blurred
blue.
the old dog is
sweetly fading
into memory
as one day so
will you.
