It's The Little Things

The Life of a Dog

Being stuck at home and social distancing because of corona virus.

I feel like a dog stuck in their house
Doing the same things again and again Waiting to go out, nowhere to explore
Blocked by a painted locked door.

As depressing as it sounds I'm actually ok
Enjoying myself each and every day.
But how much I long to be out in the breeze
Running around and looking up at the trees.

Today I went for a walk in the park
I saw people talk and heard dogs bark
But I stayed a distance from those around
like an invisible leash was holding me down.

Hopefully this pandemic will soon be solved
but for now dogs are living the best
Getting lost of cuddles, attention and a lap as a head rest.

But I appreciate these dark days to open my eyes and sympathise
With the life of a dog.
