The Good Boy
I am the tail-wagging dog
who rushes to the door
welcomes you home
after a work-weary day.
I am the foraging dog
who sniffs out foreign scents
leads your well-worn sneakers
down new paths.
I am the dashing dog
who chases the balls and sticks
you throw away
forget you need.
I am the cuddly dog
who delights in your embrace
as you weep away
your loneliness.
I am the hungry dog
who sits patient
as you fill my bowl
with healthy treats.
I am the beaten dog
who endures your kicks
when you need to vent
your frustrations.
I am the loyal dog
who constantly returns
an innocent companion
always willing to forgive.
