Poem
On a rainy day, I decided to read in the hotel’s lobby There, I found no one, but I heard deep breathes I thought it was my imagination, so I sat on a cozy red chair as I began reading "War and Peace" But, the deep breathes did not stop, instead, it turned into heart breaking sobs I looked around to see if there is someone sitting in the hotel's lobby with me... But, there was nothing except for the drop drips across the window Slowly, I stood up and walked towards the sound's source Thus, my feet led me towards the hotel's main entrance And there, I saw a dog sitting beside a black open umbrella... I saw something dripping from the dog's face, but I was afraid to go closer to see if he is okay Gently, I crept, gently, I sat beside the dog... I looked at him to see him sobbing, yet looking at something I couldn't see Then, he lay on the ground next to me, as he tried to wipe his tears with my jeans I caressed his head as I tried to help I waited for a while as I watched the drip drop .. . The sun began to shine on the borders of the land And the dog stopped sobbing for a while He stood up and looked at me; trying to ask me to follow him As I was standing up, he held the umbrella and gave it to me He gently barked to tell me to put above our hands And so, we ventured into the rainy day's display as the dog led the way Five minutes walk was all it took, for we stopped in front of a hospital Once more, the dog barked as he looked at the black umbrella in my hands I lowered it to him to see what he wants It was then that I understood the dog's sobs, for it was a devotion to his friendly owner On the black umbrella was a small tag that read the owner's name; "Sam Mathews" I went into the hospital to ask for him and the nurse led me to his room There, beneath the white sheets, lay an old man with a smile on his face When the dog saw him, he ran to hug the old man as he sobbed once more I left the room, thinking of the old man's brief story of what had happened; "On a rainy day, I wanted to take my dog for a walk; suddenly I felt pain in my heart as I blacked out Then, I opened my eyes to find myself lying in this bed with a nurse beside me I asked for my dog, but he was nowhere near I had this black umbrella in my hand, but it must have fallen, and my dog must have stayed beside it waiting for me to come..." That dog is a loyal friend, for he waited, without food and water For his nearest moment to see his friend...
