Always stays close to me,
While out on a walk
Or in the house.
Always aware of my presence,
Watching
Waiting.
The moment I call,
He jumps up
Responding.
When he holds still beside me,
I scratch his head and neck
Or gently rub his tender spots.
He makes mistakes but never runs to hide,
In regret, he lowers his ears,
Knowing I will love him no matter what.
If my dog is capable of this behavior,
Why is it such a struggle for me?
Giving my loyalty and obedience
To God, my loving Lord and Savior,
Who is always with me,
Wanting what is best for me.
