A pet’s soliloquy
The day I open my eye
I only see you
In your eye
I see my reflection
You give me food
You stay by my side
You care about me
You teach me
You cry
I cry
You laugh
I laugh
You play
I play
We are together
You grow up
I grow old
You run
I try to follow
You set the pace
I try to keep up
One day
I fall down
I wish I had the strength
To stand up again
But
I fail
I cover myself in the shadow of the corner
I keep myself calm
I think
I see the angel
