You only like me when it's raining

You only like me when it's raining,

When you're hiding from the lightening,

When the thunder is loudly crashing,

You hide under my feet.

.

You're always waiting,

On the other side of the door.

You're too big to ignore

When you take up pacing.

.

With your tail between your legs,

Your eyes reflect your dreads,

And then you ask me kindly,

"Can you stop the water for me?"

.

But when the sky is clear,

You don't want me near,

Always telling me to let you be,

With a deep-belly groan.

You roll your eyes as you moan,

"That's enough love, please."

.

You only like me when it's raining,

You cling to my side.

Because you know, dear,

I love you at all times.

There is no limit,

And hardly what I'd call conditions,

When it comes to me loving you.

.

Before and after the storm,

I'm happy to keep you warm.

Lay right at my feet;

Please, come sit next to me.

.

Your big ears and soft face

And darling brown eyes,

Always have a place

In my home, and in my heart.
