Snoopy, Can I Be You?

You live in the day,
or rather in the moment,
content with a bowl of food
delivered on time,
or even late, for the delay
is forgotten in the receiving.
You know how to play,
entertaining the birds,
caring for those smaller,
weaker, different than you.
You're content in your head
concocting tales, playing the hero,
needing nothing but minimal props.
Snoopy, can I be you?
Will you teach me contentment,
joy, compassion, and loyalty?
