Unconditional Love; A dog's story
All I wanna do is play,
But I'm watching the days pass away,
And although you don't give me toys to chew,
Master I will always love you,
You walk in the door and I'm happy,
I lick your hand but you slap me,
I was just trying to show my affection,
I know I'm nowhere near perfection,
I need to go out so I paw at the door,
And when you ignored me I peed on the floor,
You shove me in a dark, cold cage,
After beating me again in all your rage,
I sit in that cage for three whole days,
When you finally let me out in a haze,
Now it's a little hard for me to walk,
So I sit and listen to you and your friend talk,
I guess you didn't see me on your way to get more beer,
You hit me so hard now that I finally start to tear,
I'm sorry I embarrassed you in front of your friend,
Please don't twist my arm it's not supposed to bend,
I don't understand why you're being so harsh,
You take me in the woods and throw me in a marsh,
I'm thinking don't go,
Then you deliver the last blow,
And my bones start to crack,
As I groan and you laugh,
But no matter what you ever do,
You are my master and I will always love you.
