A juicy steak
Sat atop the table
Slowly it disappeared
Each time,
The knife cut deeper
The fork stabbed harder
Ripping all meat from the bone
A dog sat nearby
He watched eagerly
The steak smelled so sweet
It was all that he wanted
Yet it slowly disappeared
Right there before his eyes
Hope seemed to fade
With each bite
The steak was soon gone
All that was left was a cleaned bone
This was given to the eager dog
No, it was not all that he desired
But it was more then he had ever had
And he savored every bit of it
For hours, for days, for weeks, for years
He savored that bone for eternity
Sat atop the table
Slowly it disappeared
Each time,
The knife cut deeper
The fork stabbed harder
Ripping all meat from the bone
A dog sat nearby
He watched eagerly
The steak smelled so sweet
It was all that he wanted
Yet it slowly disappeared
Right there before his eyes
Hope seemed to fade
With each bite
The steak was soon gone
All that was left was a cleaned bone
This was given to the eager dog
No, it was not all that he desired
But it was more then he had ever had
And he savored every bit of it
For hours, for days, for weeks, for years
He savored that bone for eternity
