When  all  the  World  Detests  You
~~~


The  wedded  bliss  has  faded
to  the  glitter  of  the  night
The  beckoned  call  awaited
til  you  gave in  to  your  delight
~
Without  a  care  you  crushed  the  hearts
of  those  you  left  behind
You  water-skied  across  our  tears
to  chase  the  rainbows  through  your  mind
~
When  all  the  world  forgets  you
if  you're  lost  and  all  alone
When  all  your  friends  have  left  you
and  your  thoughts  drift  back  to  home
~
Remember  there  is  one  heart  left
who  loves  you  even  still
A  heart  that's  waiting  by  the  door
to  bark  and  wag  its' tail
~~~

 I'm not ugly!
I'm just visually challenged!

my dog would probably be waiting just to bite me ... it likes my wife like it's her shadow ... I'm just sort of the other person who lives here

Oh .... Rex~
You've got that right.
I eagerly await that little wagger
when I return each time.
Thank you for this delightful 'tail'.

I love this!! Don't you just love the hero's welcome when you get home. That's something I always look forward to. Someday I'd like to be the person my dog thinks I am. Cute poem!
