Tribute to Furio
Living as humans
Has a price we all pay.
We discover the world
And lose our innocence.
We learn that injustice
Is the norm not the exception.
We find out that the world
Is ruled by greed and fear.
We learn about deception,
Pettiness and indifference.
And we discover prejudice,
Bigotry and hypocrisy.
We learn that all our pride
And dreams of immortality
Could never free our lives
From hatred superstition
And senseless violence.
This is the lesson
We call “growing up”.
And then one day a puppy
Walks straight up to us
Licks our face
And chooses us for life.
Pick up that puppy
And hold him in your arms
And he will show you,
Year after year,
A different way of life
Where evil has no meaning
Love has no reservations
Loyalty has no conditions
And joy knows no bounds.
You will learn that this world
We think belongs to us
Is graced by noble creatures
That never lose their innocence.
These humble beings
That can be strong and fearless
Sweet tender and joyful
Are capable of giving
More love than we can dream of.
They can brighten our days
The way no human can.
Their life’s a gift of joy
For those who share it with them
And a lesson in beauty
For all of us to learn.
In loving memory of Furio Daddy’s boy.
