promises

i want a home, i hope my heart is read.
a gentle hand to touch me, a warm clean bed.
food in my bowl, its nice to be fed.
then i will feel whole,
in your lap i will lay my head... a dog's promise

i promise if you come home with me,
you will be treated with love,
there will be no cruelty,
your head will be scratched,
our walks together will be many,
if i have million dollars or only a penny.
you will not be returned if you get sick or old,
your loyalty i will earn, and return to you tenfold...a human's promise
