JUST MY DOG
He's just my dog.
He is my other eyes, that can see above the clouds;
My other ears that can hear above the winds.
He has told me more than a thousand times over,
That I am his reason for being, by the way he rests against my leg,
By the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile,
By the way he shows his hurt when I leave.
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another person.
With him, I am all powerful.
He has taught me, the meaning of devotion, is loyalty itself.
With him, I know the secret comfort and a private peace.
He has brought me understanding, where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee, can heal my Human hurts.
His presence by my side, is protection against my fears,
Of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me....
Whenever....
Wherever....
In case I need him.
And I expect I will,
As I always have.
Who is he?
He's just....
MY DOG!
