Like a Loyal Dog

Every time go home
No matter the time of day
My favourite dog comes 
running to me
Just as i reach the gate.
No matter how many times I 
go home
He will always run to me 
without fail
Wagging its tail with 
excitement
Rubbing its body on my leg
Makingvme feel welcome like 
a king to his palace.
It never gets bored
Never stops
Never fails
So at times get the urge ro 
reward him
Thus I carry a little something 
for him.
But even when I dont
He will stil be there.
At times it becomes routine to 
me
And i approach the gate sure 
of what is coming
But somehow each time
A new feeling is born
A unique kind of warmth
And I just want to stay there 
with it
For it gives me ao much joy.

And it got me thinking
I also want to be like a loyal 
dog to my master
Ever yearning to run to His 
feet.
Come rain come shine
In lack or overflow
In reward or none
I want to be like that faithful 
dog
Never bored with my God
Never tired to be by His side
Always wanting to welcome 
Him with arms open wide.
I want to be like that loyal dog 
for as long as I am alive.
