A pattern’s promise gives us faith
Gives us a role and path to trace
The sun will rise
We’ll go for a walk
They’ll eat their meal
Then sit and talk
She’ll cook more food
I’ll sleep all day
I’ll lurk for scraps
With ball I’ll play
I’ll fetch my stick
They’ll watch TV
I’ll chew my bone
Go out to pee
The sun will set
More sleep I’ll get
The covenant made by routine
The happy dog that knows his place
