To Simba with love.
So many years it’s been since you stole my heart,
So many years it’s been since you stole my heart,
Picked us, your chosen, your set apart,
The ones in whom you placed your hope,
For a brighter brand-new start.

Poem: The cannon was fired! The dogs barked!
Boom! The cannon was fired! The dogs barked!
The men and women stood around,
Stilled and pledged to make no sound,
A sombre silence there to tell,
Today they remembered the men who fell.

A letter to my dog
Phoebe,
10 days since we said goodbye and I miss you more and more with every passing day. Whenever I would tell people about you, I would refer to you as my dog. You weren’t so lucky, and did well not to have an identity crisis with all the affectionate and ridiculous names I had for you, each one lovingly treasured in my heart. In that heart, which hurts so much for you now, you will always be alive and present.
