Duke

I slam the front door in anger.
I storm into my room.
Suddenly, four tiny paws come racing towards me
leaping from the ground, onto my bed,
jumping with joy as my hand touches his fur.
His small puppy eyes,
his grinning smile, all turn my day around.
Everything seems so much brighter.
Grabbing a toy, ready to play,
once again,
Duke has made my day!
