I watch him play,
Anticipation in his eyes
As the ball’s thrown high,
He lunges into air,
Retrieving it.
He drops the ball
Next to my feet,
Looks up at me,
Tail wagging desperately
For another throw.
“Billy” by Toni Newell
Leave a commentI watch him play,
Anticipation in his eyes
As the ball’s thrown high,
He lunges into air,
Retrieving it.
He drops the ball
Next to my feet,
Looks up at me,
Tail wagging desperately
For another throw.
