loyalty rewards

to my very loyal companion of 9 years
Bono the Beastie Boy
rescued from the neighbouring yard
turned on by his pack
(and by that I mean his mum his dad and his many siblings)
battered and bruised and quivering
he was the sensitive one of the litter
not the runt
he'd watch me as I strolled by the fence
hoping to capture my gaze
he knew I also to be a sensitive
happy together we are
