A Thoughtful Stroll



Omar often told me

about walks he took alone

while at his beloved K-9 Town

I wished I hadn’t known.

 

He said he’d walk for hours

sometimes be gone all day

to see what threats awaited his pack

to handle them his way.

 

He told me they were thoughtful strolls

that was only partially true

he was looking for signs of danger

I wished the others knew.

 

His pack would have been by his side

rain, sleet, sun, or snow

but I had to keep his secret

I couldn’t let them to know.


Though many things have changed now

the threats are far and few

he continues to take his thoughtful strolls

it’s what good Leaders do.
