When I am sleeping
my dog sleeps with one eye open
When their is a noise
he rushes to check the source, then quickly settles
When their is a ball
he is alert and happy
When I am working
he is calmly by my side
When we are driving
he is in heaven smelling the world
with his head out the window
When I am sad
he checks on me and lets me hold him as long as I want
When family is in trouble
he is there to defend and protect if necessary
with a quiet and sweet strength
And though he never disturbed me
he was always up with the sun
awaiting the excitement I had in store for him
He is my heart
my sweet boy
My Charlie
