wow. i think this is my first @ericvancewalton poetry experience though.

On sunday (about 2 days ago), My Dog (Freda) put to birth, and somehow, i was around to witness it. i saw her go through pains, i saw her bark endlessly, i was about going into the room to help or provide any level of assistance, but i was stopped.

This was actually my first time to experience such and i really felt for the Freda.

Couple of moments later, she delivered 3 puppies and i guess the pain of one multiplied by 3. i went in to give her milk and i noticed the way she cuddled the puppies just like Humans.

And i wondered, what if she had died during this period, what if she had lost one of he babies? 1001 questions ran through my mind. But honestly, i had to appreciate nature more, i had to appreciate Freda more and truly,

It’s hard to loo
k away, to not see
beauty in the decay,
the wise cherish the
good that remains
of each miracul
ous day.
