Finally Home

With his droopy eyes; still 
Saddened...by the unknown 
I see in his face...loneliness
 
When I left him, confusion over-load 

Nor did he ever know, 
Would I ever return
 
I could still hear him as I waved driving away 
I could still see his wandering eyes through the bay window

He was ever so happy 

When finally...
 
I returned 

Home 


Our best friends never know if when we leave...when and if we would ever return. Dogs sense when we part for a few days, on vacation, work duty...or some other reason. But when we come home...it's pure joy and happiness for them...and likewise

Both can be content right now, engrossed in the joy that their partner brings them. I hope you had a great time.
