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.
