happy like a dog in a good home
home like a pleasant spring morning
each morning like an expected promise
a promise like what teases ripples in a pond
the pond deep like a cast of colorful characters
characters like the Goodman’s, the Piaker’s, the Mistretta’s
The Mistretta’s like dinner with thin spaghetti and meatballs
those meatballs, oh, like a juicy heaven in my mouth
my mouth like the speaker for my happiness
happiness like an endless web of friends
friends like a laughing summer
summer like a giggling sun
the sun like a buddy
a buddy like Frosty
Frosty our dog
like another
brother
a brother
like no other
