Man’s Best Friend
Surprised to see how much he understands,
Perhaps I underestimate his insight.
Different species can comprehend,
And I strive with all my might.
One day I lay on the floor.
Not my usual repose on the settee.
He came through the door
And came to lie beside me.
He knows when I want a walk.
I give no explicit sign.
There is no need for talk,
His needs combine
with mine.
He senses my emotions
Though by species we differ.
There are certain sensations
He can simply infer.
Most of all I wonder
At the loyalty he does show.
That a dog should wander
With his man in tow.
