A Dog Sits Waiting
A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been there days 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 are weak, his throat parched and dry.
He's sick now from hunger and falls with a sigh.
He lays his head down and closes his eyes.
I only wish YOU could see how a waiting dog dies.
