Hey, Rucksack here’s
My compass, biscuits
Plus... an apple or two
Water for our trail hike
Needed because we do
Matches for sparkin’ a campfire
Should we spend the night
Ya know…
Light creeps into darkness
As sunshine fades, then quits
Leaving dotted points we ponder
Yonder stars across the sky
Assuming clouds don’t interfere
In nature’s atmosphere
Rucksack -
Maybe we’re luckier than we know
To hang out like companions
Who’ve seen our share of canyons
After climbing higher and higher
Where peaks give just rewards
Switchback after switchback
Down this path we firmly go
Retracing sets of footsteps
Yet to be disturbed
Shall we take a breather
Have a sip of H2O
Before we dash for home
Rucksack…
Wasn’t that a journey!
I think we’re the perfect team
A canine and his kiddo
Who realize what they dream
