A Dog Sits Waiting
by Kathy Flood
A dog sits waiting in the
cold autumn sun --
too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been there for days now
with nothing to do
but sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can't understand why you
left him that day;
he thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back,
and that's why he stays --
how long will he suffer? How many more days?
His legs have grown weak,
his throat's parched and dry;
he's sick now from hunger
and he falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head, and he closes his eyes --
I *wish* you could see
how a waiting dog dies!
