He sits alone by the old front door,
Waiting for steps he hears no more.
His tail is still, his eyes are low,
Missing the love he used to know.
""
The bowl is full, but he won’t eat,
No happy jumps, no moving feet.
He looks around, then softly sighs,
A quiet tear in patient eyes.
""
Once he ran in the morning sun,
Chasing joy till the day was done.
Now shadows follow where he stays,
Counting slow and lonely days.
""
He listens close to every sound,
Hoping his friend will come around.
Each passing car, each opening gate,
Teaches his heart to learn to wait.
""
Still, he stays loyal, brave, and true,
With all his love saved just for you.
A sad dog’s heart may break apart,
But hope still sleeps inside his heart.

Dead Poets Society
Introduction Dead Poets Society (1989) is more than just a film; it is a powerful reflection on education, individuality, and the courage to live authentically. Directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams as the unforgettable English teacher John Keating, the movie is set in a strict boys’ boarding school in the late 1950s. Through poetry, unconventional teaching, and emotional honesty, the film challenges rigid traditions and inspires generations to question authority and embrace their own voices.

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.
