I Am a Dog

I Am a Dog

I am a dog

Yes, it is quite true

A dog that runs through fields of golden grass

And plays with the other animals

I guard my sheep friends while they sleep at night

And I make humans grin and gleam

I bark at unknown figures that lurk in the tree shadows

And I protect with all my might

My human will give me fresh meat and treats

And I give him kisses in return

I bask in the sun

And I listen to the chickens while they speak

My mud puddle is my favorite toy

And the cool rain will wash away the crust when I’m done

I am a dog

Yes, you know it is true

This life that I live is nice

And I am happy
