A True Friend
It is a silent vigil I have taken
My family's safety is my only concern
A sacred trust not to be forsaken
I will wait all night for the doorknob's turn
Through generations of my kind
Is built a reputation for devotion
From daily companions for the blind
To rescue volunteers on the ocean
Always eager to give great pleasure
Quietly every indignity ignored
Hunting companion at your leisure
In your presence I am never bored
So when you next consider me
Comfortably curled at your feet
Remember how loyal I can be
And how very much I deserve a treat.
