As I Look Into Your Eyes

As I Look Into your eyes My dear old friend, What are trying to tell me? Are you as tired as I am? Do you long for inner peace? Is your sleep becoming restless? Is that a tear I see Sliding down your cheek? Are your shoulders sagging From Life's heavy load? Here we sit together, Your head upon my knee, Relishing the comfort you give, And then I feel you lick my hand.

I just knew, before the last line, you were referring to a dear, 4-legged, friend. Loyal & loving throughout. Nice write.

Thanks. I wrote this as my Coonhound and Golden Retriever reached 15 years.
