A Wag Tail Called Jack

A Wag Tail called Jack

Whenever I feel sad or low
it’s to my garden I will go
and there I always seem to see
a little wag tail watching me

he has a flash upon his chest
that’s how I know him from the rest
I often wonder if he knows
I’m feeling down, for when I show
he’s never scared, won’t fly away
just wags his tail content to stay
 
my spirits lift and I feel grand
he eats the crumbs from out my hand
Know what I think, ‘tween you and me
I think our Jack is watching me


‘Animal Spirit’ April 2010
