I am a golden retriever.

Call me by name, and I come.
Tell me your stories, and my ears uplift.
Give me a task, and with cheer I fulfill.
Ask for my time, and I am yours.

Tell me you love me, and my cheeks perk up.
Give me your heart, and I will wrap it in satin.
Ask me to wait, and nothing will change.
Call me your baby, and today I will stay.

Give me a treat, and the reward is my pleasure.
Ask me to turn, and I my head hits my chest.
Call me for an adventure, and my hopes get higher and higher.
Tell me you won’t leave me, and the actions are left in allegory.

Asking to those who have made me strong.
Calling to those who have a place to belong.
Telling to those who have kept my song.
Giving to those who have done me wrong.
