~ Watchful Eyes ~
Eyes piercing through
the night
It's so dark I can
barely see
I slowly turn my head to
look
And my dog is staring
back at me.
My heart starts to skip
a beat
As I start to stir about
"Go to sleep and close
your eyes!
You're starting to freak
me out!"
But he just sits there
and blinks his eyes
As if to say, "No Way!
I'm not tired, how could
you be?
While you were gone, I
slept all day!"
So I roll over and close
my eyes
But I feel him staring
at me
Try as I might to fall
back asleep
He's not going to let me
be.
So I decided to get out
of bed
Walk over and turn on
the light
My dog continues to
stare at me
Determined I won't leave
his sight.
"Okay", I say, "You win!
Do you want to go for a
walk?"
Hopefully this will make
him tired
I sure wish that he
could talk.
Here it is late at night
And I'm out walking my
dog
Lots of insects seem to
be awake
I even hear the croaking
of frogs!
We're back home safe 'n'
sound
Finally I crawl back
into bed
My dog curls up beside
me
A good night's sleep I
know is ahead.
But I lay there with my
eyes wide open
My muscles have started
to ache
My dog is sleeping
soundly
As I lay here wide
awake!
