They wait.
Patiently as the hours tick by
As my time is stolen away by mindless work
They wait
No matter how far into the night it goes
There's a comfort in knowing
As soon as I swing open that door that there they will be
Tails wagging as fast as their tiny bodies will allow
Barking sweet 'I miss yous' as I can see their eyes are drooping
A tiresome day of waiting
Waiting for me to return
Day after day
No matter how many times I walk out that door without them in tow
They are there to greet me the moment I arrive
My tiny soul mates
They are the truest form of loyalty and love that this world has ever had
