It's that time of night
to walk my dogs
I don't want to
because
it's raining
but
four eyes
staring at me
two tailes swaying
ready to go
they
don't care
I put on my coat
the collar up
and step
outside
in a deep
poole
my feet all wet
I curse
the dogs
but they
don't care
and off I go
to walk the path
they know
so well
I hear them
not but
they are close
minding their
own bussiness
I look up
at the sky
above
my breathing
stops 'cause
thousands of stars
enlighten my
face
and suddenly
I realize
how lucky
I am
to live
here
in the countryside
I call my dogs
and home
we go
I praise
them well
to let me
know
how happy
I am
but they
didn't care

Nicely done. Sometimes, we get a pleasant surprise when we do things we don't want to.

Sometimes it takes our pets to show us those little things we fail to see. Well done!

This was just lovely and I enjoyed it very much.  Your countryside in Holland is so very beautiful, I have been there twice and loved it.  Take care......Sue
