A Dog Sits Waiting
Kathy Flood
A dog sits waiting in the cold
autumn sun. Too faithful to leave, too
frightened to run.
He's been here 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 days?
His legs have grown weak, his throat's
parched dry. He's sick now from hunger and
falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes. I
wish you could see how a waiting dog dies.
Report an
abandoned dog to your local animal control agency.
