Little Bucky Squirrel... how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways!
I love thee in the sweet, snug fingerhold you have
as you grasp my hand;
I love thee in your warm, pink tongue
as you lick my hand;
I love thee in your awesome gaze, as you look at me
with those large black all knowing, unconditionally loving eyes;
I love thee in the way you attempt to bury a nut
in my collar at the back of my neck;
I love thee in the nuts you have hidden
in the folds of the couch;
I love thee in the way we squirrel wrestle together
in the mornings;
I love thee in the way you wait, perched upright on the porch of your cage,
ready to jump on me whenever I get close enough to you;
I love thee in the ever-present exuberance you demonstrate
whenever I walk in the room;
I love thee in your sweet innocence
and constant presence in the "now";
Little Bucky, teach me to be like you,
for only then can I truly enter the new paradigm of
Heaven on Earth!
