I Sniff Your Presence

 (Image Source: https://www.petsworld.in/)

tap tap tap tap

knocking on the door

I sniff your presence

rolling on the floor

beneath the carpet

on the table top

waiting for you

by the wet mop

summers are dry

and sweaty, perspire

I love when you snuggle

and how you admire

you scold me when angry

and when I am wrong

you tell me stories

and sing me songs

the past now vague

parents I don't remember

you have been the one

my mother, father and sister

strolling in the park

when the sun yearns to set

I am glad of the day

the moment when we met

tap tap tap tap

but why do you knock?

you must have the keys

of the main door's lock

perhaps its someone else

and not you who has come

I shall rest for a while

and chase a few worms

click tick crux tick

the door just opened

hurray it's you

with a bag of yummy bacons

I wag my tail

and jump in joy

you smear me with kisses

and say, "I love you my boy"
