In walls of grey, I lay alone,
Where echoes speak in somber tone.
Once a home, now just a space,
A longing heart, a slower pace.
My eyes, they search for you each day,
In every shadow, come what may.
The gate swings open, hope ignites,
But fades with the falling of the night.
I dream of fields and running free,
Of joyful barks and your pat on me.
But dreams are fleeting, like the breeze,
That whispers through forgotten trees.
I've much to give, love yet to spend,
For loyalty, I'm known to lend.
A noble friend, through thick and thin,
I wait for you, to love again.
So here I sit, with hope's faint glow,
A faithful friend, despite the woe.
For in my heart, I still believe,
In a forever home, I will receive.
