Talking on the phone,
I hurriedly moved from room to room,
dressed in an outdoor outfit,
all the while he sat,
in the middle of the room,
staring at me.
He knew I was going out,
and also knew he isn\'t coming,
which made him sad,
as he never stays away.
The minute I looked at him,
he wagged, jumped,
hoping and trying to convince me perhaps,
take me too with you, mommy!
But I said, bye baby,
I will be back soon!
that tail stopped to wag,
those big eyes got rounder
and his lip line sagged downwards.
I cut my plans short,
friends with no pets asked,
was he that important?
disappointed family reasoned,
family should come first.
How do I explain,
he is my family,
he is my best friend,
he is my child,
he is my World.
The minute I walked in the door,
he ran and hugged me,
with the same wags,
and love that never wavers.
Did he remember how sad,
I made him before I left?
did he remember, how disappointed,
he was when I said,
no, you are not allowed baby?
I guess that\'s what makes him special.
You ask, why him and not us?
because he gave me,
that unconditional love,
for him I mattered,
for him I am the one
for him I am everything!
I am his World,
and he makes my World happier!
