Trying not to fuss
Don’t want to be demanding
I watch you from afar
Being pulled
From one place to another
Always on the move
Something always to do
Still, I wait throughout the day
I wait for little moments together
The small amount of time we get
Whatever the length
I will wait for you
I get up and move
To distract from the wait
Yet I always return
To the same spot
You pass by me and flash me a smile
You haven’t forgotten me
At ease once again
And excited all together
My time is coming
I will wait for you
Grab a quick drink
Why not have a snack
Have a mini conversation
Still keeping an eye out for you
Then it happens
I hear you getting ready
You grab our stuff
It’s my time with you
“Otto let’s go!”
I run to you
Alison, I’ve waited
Leash goes on and out the door, we go
Well worth the wait
Off to spend the rest of my day with you.
(Written for Alison and Otto)
