Luke

I went running today when I got home from school.

On the lake path in the direction towards home,

a furry friend soaking wet from enjoying himself in the lake joined me.

He tagged along my side for some time... all the way home actually.

Yes, I did look for someone to claim him as I ran, but no one did.

Everyone I passed assumed that Luke was with me.

I couldn't get rid of him, even if I had wanted to try.

So, to my house he came. I fed him, and watered him.

But unfortunately, he had a lady at home that missed him.

That is when we had to part and go our different ways.

He didn't even say goodbye.

Luke, you were a good pet whilst you were mine. 

Thanks for joining me on my birthday jog. 

Maybe we'll meet again on the shore path.
