I Stay all Day

looking at the world within
he hangs his head down by his chin
many walk by; he makes them think
he is on the brink, he is on the brink

some sit beside him and give him a rub
they feel a kindship, call him “Bub”
He remains inert, his head hanging down
they stay around, they stay around

I am called to sit for a while
He never looks up, gives me no smile
But I feel a connection right away
I stay all day, I stay all day
