Ouch!, that hurts, my neck already swollen and sore
But, Maybe, just Maybe this chain will break
The anger not contained in my heavy jaws
Sprays in the air around me
Infecting the entire pound
I am just a good old dog
But, my bone has a bitter taste
When stray cats are dancing merrily
Fire burns my face
So I pull and fight, I am ready and able
My master is in need and I am too
I know all of the dog and cat rules
And when at last he sets me free
My bite will be felt from the air and seas
It may not be glorious, It may not be brief
But at night I know my puppies sleep
When I return, I pray it is done
The fight is over we have won
And when sleeping in the arms of my family
I will finally, rest
Knowing that we are safe,
And Blessed.
