The Prize

You spend your days chasing an elusive fox
to give you the warmth that you crave.
Your quarry is out of your reach, and you
consider giving up the hunt,
when what you could be looking for
is really with you all the way.
The warmth and comfort are not so far gone
and you don't have far to look.
Sometimes all you have to do
is hang up the horn and gun,
and look to your faithful companion
who remains by your side.
Don't be afraid to show that you care
or fear accepting him as your prize.
