I Want To Be the Person My Dog Thinks I Am

The following poem was inspired by this fridge magnet sent by JD and Max's Female Human and the picture of me from the last post!It's my first attempt at writing poetry since I was at school many moons ago so please don't be too critical.

I wakeup in the morning
Aching limbs and stiff in the joint
Finn by the bedside
'Come on Mum, let's go for a jaunt'.



I want to be the person my dog thinks I am.



I look in the mirror,
Face lined and gaunt.
Finn by my side
'Come on Mum let's go for a jaunt'



I want to be the person my dog thinks I am.



I put on my hat, put on my coat,
Caught by a neighbour wanting to talk.
Finn by my side,
'Come on Mum, this is a walk.



I want to be the person my dog thinks I am.



We tramp across fields,
Splash through streams'
Finn by my side,
'Come on Mum, this is the walk of my dreams'.



For a while, Iam the person my dog thinks I am.



I sit for a rest
At the end of the day.
Finn at my side ,
'Come on Mum, it's time to play'.



Iwant to be the person my dog thinks I am.
