The Weekend Challenge from Weekly Prompts is: Sanctuary. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here . and the poem below is my response to their prompt …
His New Sanctuary is Luxury
Sometimes in life
Just when it’s right
There’s that moment
And tonight’s that moment
Sometimes we are lucky
Against all the odds
There’s that fortunate time
I am ecstatic and feeling blessed
Gratefully thankful
I write these words on today’s Newspaper
Reading tomorrow’s weather forecast
Happiness is here
Here right beside me
Under my verandah roof
Comfy and relaxed
Frankie love’s his new sanctuary
Ivor Steven (c) August 2021

The simple joy in life.

Woof, woof 🐶 I am up on Ivor’s bed now, near his pillows .. waiting for him to get out bed so I can have some brekkie 🐶🍞
You know, I think we are getting on really well .. he takes me for a walk everyday , some very interesting places, where I get to meet other doggies ..
Woof .. and people give me treats and cuddles 🤗 .. sometimes I sit in his car while he’s in the supermarket .. but that’s ok because I get to bark as much as I like at the all the people outside the car 🚙🐶 .. anyhow please say hello to Coop’s for me 🐶🤗 woof, woof

I like to walk in the rain…Cooper doesn’t. Unless it’s just sprinkling a bit. If it’s raining a goodly amount Coops doesn’t like it. He does enjoy walking in the snow, though. 🙂
