The rain dampens my bronze coat of fur

The rain dampens my bronze coat of fur

I sit on the sand and listen to the bluish-green water babble

I hear the ducks rustle in the grass, quacking happily

I watch two girls gaze at each other from

Different sides of the field

They go back to watching nature

I think of uniting us three different souls

I watch their nervous ticks develop as they fidget

I watch them thinking about reaching out

But they never do it,

Not trying to connect together

Finally, my thought process stops

I run towards one and then the other

Licking their faces and making them laugh

They touch me, almost surprised I’m tangible

It’s good to be a dog that can help

They look up and smile at each other

They become friends after talking and laughing

They pat and whisper to me

They treat me well

They know how to make me happy

Scratching my stomach and playing fetch
