My Toy Dog

This petite and fragile toy dog.
Sitting there frozen in time.
It gives me my sense of adventure.
I am very glad it’s mine.

It reminds me of how fragile we all are.
It reminds me of how fierce we can be.
While I stare at it, it makes me feel calm.
But at the same time it breaks me.

It makes me envy its beauty.
And the effects it has on me.
I wish I could be this little toy dog
That will always be with me.
