You wanted me to be a part of your family and you. <br />Now can you please tell me what did I do? <br /> You banished me from the house, stuck me on a chain. <br />I am out here, heat, snow, wind and rain. <br /> Do you know that I get lonely and yearn for your touch? <br /> Do you know just how I miss you so very much? <br /> All I get to do, is walk around and pace. <br />I thought I was suppose to be part of your race. <br /> But here I am day after day, year after year. <br /> But do you know that I still hold you dear? <br /> So won't you please reconsider and bring me inside. <br />I promise to be a good dog and just be by your side.<br /><br />Candi Lynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-chained-dog-s-plea/
