Brays Of Our Lives

Toebee, Big Inside

My years are few as you may count—

Of moons I shan’t see many—

But my days are as full as yours

And my life grand as any.

My heart is small by measured weight,

My pulse is light’ning fast,

But it’s a brave heart, good and true,

And full of love to last.

A day to you, a week to me—

Each minute lived is full.

As you have loved these years with me,

So I love life with you.

I eat with gusto, move with grace,

Enjoy life to it’s all . . . 

I’m Toebee, and I’m big inside

Though gerbils tend towards small.
