I Like Your Dog
I Like Your Dog
I like your dog, the one that you got.
I like him because he is here and I’m not.
I like that whenever you give him a bone.
You’ve someone to share with; not eating alone.
I like that you call him a nickname of mine.
I like that he answers it every time.
I like that he’s with you whenever you weep,
And snuggles up close as you drift off to sleep.
I like that he cares for you, just as I would.
I like that he’s constantly faithful and good.
I like that he’s dopey and generates laughter
His silliness making you chuckle long after.
I like that your dog’s a reminder of us.
I’d like to be present when you give him a fuss.
I like that he’s at your side every day,
So though I can’t be there, I know you’re okay.
