The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks

Logan is a drifter from Colorado who has come to Hampton for a reason only known to him.  He walked the whole way with only one companion, his dog Zeus.  When he finally got to his destination he met the reason that he came, Elizabeth Green.  Elizabeth has a 10 year old son named Ben.  As Elizabeth and Logan's relationship begins, Ben and Zeus become fast friends.  This poem is from Zeus's point of view and shows the simplicity of his thoughts about the new complex situation.

Ben

What great fun

it has been

this time spent

playing with Ben

He never tires

of throwing the stick

and he splashes

with me in the crick

Logan and I

have always been alone

but I like this

finally having a home

Always moving

from place to place

could never top

having Ben to chase
