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 for 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, that's why he stays.
How long will he suffer, how many days?

His legs are weak, his throat parched and dry.
He's sick 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!!
