For Trixie Noel

A face in the photograph stares back at me.
One, long, droopy ear draped over an arm.
One blue eye, already filled with trust.
In a matter of seconds,
she enters my private zone of indifference
and melts the self-made barriers.
This small, helpless creature,
is readying herself for her journey.
The smell of new puppy is strong.
So is the bond we’re beginning to build.
Two more, long weeks separate
her from joining our family.
Rewards await us all,
the days to be filled with discovery,
in the refreshing life she brings
with her droopy ear and one, blue eye.
