The Humane Among Us

delivering kisses instead of Retweets
across state lines, wearing his star spangled bandana
Gander be his name

he rescues humans, every day
stepping beyond the Twits in the world, with soulful chocolate colored eyes
he touches wounded hearts     face-to-face     the old-fashioned way

saved from death by a kind hearted Veteran
how lucky we are to have him, for even one day
truly, he's the Favorite we all want in our Inbox

hugs and smiles for every child and soldier
there should be a mountain or rainbow named after him...or
a lifetime supply of neon green tennis balls

for those stuck on their iPhones
something humane awaits to dismantle your heart
sleep well boy, your hero's journey begins again tomorrow
