To be a Dog

The truth is: I'm a dog.

I listen to you carefully unsure of who I'm hearing,

you or God.

But I listen. I make your words mine, and I bask,

enjoying them like sunshine.

And I might not understand, but what difference does it make? 

To a dog, its master is the world and I am nothing but loyal.

Because you are as simple as snow, as finite as the ocean. 

Because your love is quick but consistent.

And your world is bigger than mine, 

So I follow your command.

And I might not understand but after all, why should I?

there's colors only you can see.
