Today, I looked and I loved you. I watched you throughout the meeting, admired your snowy beard which looks wonderful on you even though it covers up your beautiful face and your graceful neck. It is probably a good thing to cover your lovely neck because I always want to touch it when it is visible.
Then seeing you in the hallway before and after class. I was stuck in the coat rack for a few minutes waiting for you to pass while you spoke to another person, and I loved the sound of your voice. Then you passed me and you waved. I know you were just joking but I received the joy from your attention, that crazy joyful feeling a pet might have when the owner returns home.
I had visiting teaching today so I didn't get to see you leave. You probably won't be here next Sunday so I'm lucky to have seen this much of you today.
Tomorrow is Carol's funeral. I always thought she liked you. I'm so sorry she is gone.
