Someone to Love


My son's dog comes over to me,
puts her paws up on my chest, and
looks deep into my eyes.
She affects love for me, and maybe it's real,
but how can a man know what's in a dog's heart,
when he doesn't even know his own.
I do know that she wants me to scratch her chest,
which pleases her a great deal.
I am offended in some mild way,
if this is all she wants from me,
and then i wonder:
is this how god feels about me
coming to him day after day
crying for a woman,
someone to love, and 
someone to love me,
and why he says (sometimes)
No.
