A Dog's Outlook

She’s about to awake I feel my heart quake Her body is rolling over She’s messing the cover Will she take me out to pee? Oh, my, such heavenly glee! I do so love her with all I am She treats me just like a lamb She’s rolling over now, awake I’ve got to lick her, for heaven’s sake I can’t wait til she opens her eyes Such amazing love that implies I give her sloppy, wet kisses The kind I know she always misses She squints at me through one eye It’s all I can do to not bark or cry She reaches for me with one hand Rubbing my back just as I planned She starts to get up and I bounce to her Delighting in her hand against my fur I follow her through the hallway and den Bound outside then back in again She’s brought out a treat to give to me No doubt, something with which I agree She goes to the bathroom and I follow Eating my treat, trying hard to swallow She reaches down again with a embrace There is nothing like this feeling of grace I do so love this woman who I sit upon Waking with her is glorious at the crack of dawn I believe I was meant to be her best friend It’s a love this true that I will always recommend
