Going out to play catch
Pick up your glove
And meet me outside
Let’s throw it and dive for it
And jump real high
I toss it to you
You throw it back
Pretty simple
But we enjoy it
That’s a fact
Just as we did last year
At this time
But so much has happened
Since
5 way hugs, dog piles and love
Brought me right back here
To my front yard.
Little does he know
I’m torn up inside
Looking for our friend to join us
Some other day
Some other way
But I really don’t think it will happen
That’s okay
We’ll still throw it anyway
And enjoy it as much as ever.
