This homage is to my newfound friend.
You shared your quiet peacefulness to many.
The rewards were few; although, heartfelt gratitude plenty.
Your hearing is nonexistent and sight inconsistent.
The patients you brought joy too were eternally grateful~
for those brief moments of happiness.
A sweet furry face and heart larger and more beautiful than the Capitol Building
created a healing environment.
Now retired, you spend your days relaxing in the sun, birdwatching
and keeping an eye on the deer.
However,
you continue to serve by providing comfort to yet another cancer victim.
I’m grateful, Max, for your compassion and solace when I needed it most.
