She sat and stared into a far off place
Where no one else could go nor find
Her mental steps that hurried rapid paced —
A portrait of bliss burgeoning in her mind.

She stared at the pond and peaceful waterfall
But in her mind she danced along the trail
Accompanied by her six retrievers all.
And at the end of the trail, slapped by six happy tails.

She sat and stared into a far off place,
A place of unconditional love and grace.
