In a world that stretches wide and far, My loyal dog, a guiding star, He looks out the window, a steadfast gaze, Lost in the beauty of the trees' maze. For hours on end, he stands so still, Watching life unfold at the windowsill. Every motion, every fluttering leaf, Brings him excitement, a joyful belief. He shakes, he barks, with all his might, A guardian through the day, a sentinel at night. Then silence falls, he's calm once more, Gazing at the world he seems to adore. I wonder, in his silent watch, what does he see? A world beyond our grasp, a secret key? Protecting me, with unwavering faith, His presence a shield, a powerful wraith. Against all evil, he stands so brave, Ensuring my safety, the path he paves. With him by my side, I fear no fray, Safe and sound, night and day. In his eyes, a world unseen, A bond unspoken, forever keen. My dog, my friend, through thick and thin, Together we face what lies within. March 6, 2024 Created by MarkWaldrop
