Sign Of The Times Poem by Ima Ryma

Many a year we've taken walks
Through all kinds of weather outside.
And we have shared so many talks.
Of course he knows I like to guide,
Stopping for this or that to check.
In early times, impatient he
Seemed when I stopped, but what the heck,
He knew curious I do be.
But now lately I've noticed that
He doesn't mind the stops so much.
In fact he sits while we are at
Where I am sniffing such and such.

Not the stamina this dog's got,
Old humans have to rest a lot.
