He Understands

He understands
More than most
With those
Big puppy dog eyes
He takes it all in
And gives it all back
In his own way

 

He understands
Words like
“Snack”
“Dinner”
“Sit”
“Stay”

 

He also understands
The concept of
“Friendship”
“Family”
“Love”
And “play”

 

At times is amazing
Other times it’s simply
Reassuring
His bright eyes
Completely understand
Everything
About me
