A Dog's Life

He presses up against the open door
  where the sun glows and warms the carpet.
Such simple need he has
  that give him comfort and joy as his eyes close
  soaking in the warm sun's rays.
His shiny soft black fur absorbs the light
   casting his small shadow across the floor.
He drops his head and stretches lengthwise
   taking in the radiance 
   and he sighs quiet and soft.
He is toasty warm stepping into the shade
   just momentarily to cool down as he rolls on his back.
He returns again, loving this morning time
  holding onto it as long as he can
  before the sun rises higher and is out of sight.
Life is so simple
  living a dog's life.
