I Know They Wait
He waits patiently each day
Looking expectantly
Listening hopefully
That each sound brings my return
He will wait forever
If I ask it of him
He showers me with affection
Expecting so little
Giving so much
Reading my mood like a book
He will love me forever
Receiving nothing
He is a willing servant
To my desires
Surrendering all ego
For my happiness alone
He would give his life for me
If it was so required
I have known others like him
All loyal, all true
Different, yet the same
In their unconditional love for me
They will greet me with abundant joy
When I take the final journey
All of them I have loved so much
Grieved upon their leaving
My heart healed by another
Holding yet a place for each
My friends, companions, confidantes
My dogs.

| It sounded like too much loyalty to be believable until I realized you meant dogs. Oh, I loved that little girl so... thanks for the walk down memory lane. |

| How did I miss this one? I loved it. "My heart healed by another, Holding yet a place for each" How true this line is. I still remember all my dogs that I have lost. Yet, I am willing to have my heart broken one more time, with that cute, squirming little bundle! Great job. |

| I found this a very touching poem. I love the line "holding yet a place for each ," whatever it may be there will always be a special place in our hearts. Another flawless poem in my thinking. |

I cried, ya big meanie!
All kidding aside this is a touching poem from an obvious dog lover. There isn't anything (that I can see) to add, edit, or change...as usual. I really like this one and will bookshelf it. |

| Thanks for your comments, everyone. Feel free to share with your mom, Seren. Do I get royalties for that? lol. I have three dogs, the oldest is ten this year and starting to show his age. That is what prompted me to write this. |
