I forgive you for all the times I threw the ball
but you never went to get it

When I would put food in your bowl
but you never went to eat it
When I would give you treats
and you bite my fingers

All the times I’ve asked you to come in the house
But all you would do is look at me,
not moving

When you would finally come into my room
you would keep me up with your snoring
Or after I finally get to sleep
you start whining to go outside

I forgive you for when you went outside
and you would stay out there as long as you could
You knew I wanted to go back to bed
or I was running late
