He waits for me <br />Like royalty <br />Each day when <br />I get home <br />His wagging tail <br />And endless barks <br />A pledge of <br />His affection <br />And when his age <br />Has made it hard <br />For him to <br />Move around <br />He still waits <br />In that tiny space <br />In front of <br />Our main door <br />And even as <br />He lost his sight <br />He waits for <br />My return <br />He knows that <br />When the mistress comes <br />She’ll hug him <br />All the more <br />Now of course <br />That he is gone <br />I stay at work <br />Much longer <br />The house is big <br />And far too empty <br />Without him <br />At the door<br /><br />Jemarie Ragudo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-empty-space-3/
