A Dog Sits Waiting

A Dog Sits Waiting

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun.

Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.

He's been here for days now with nothing to do But sit by the road, waiting for you.

He can't understand why you left him that day.

He thought you and he were stopping to play.

He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays.

How long will he suffer?

How many more days?

His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry.

He's sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh.

He lays down his head and closes his eyes, I wish you could see how a waiting dogs dies

My dog is a rescue, as were the two who preceded her, now resting just north of Bowie.

I'm grateful every day for the unconditional love, the wagging tail, and absolute trust she places in me. And I try my best to be as good a friend as she is to me.

BTW, Sienna thanks you for that post. As a result of reading it, I felt guilty that she'd not had a long walk in the park lately (usually just in the neighborhood), so we went out for an evening stroll through the park, during which we attempted - unsuccessfully - to help a couple locate their missing pit-mix.

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: richvampirekindom@gmail.com
