Here in this house - first stanza

Here in this house......

I will never know the loneliness I hear in
the barks of the other dogs 'out there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when
I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of
not knowing if I'll eat. I will not shiver
in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's
coolness, and be allowed to smell all
that can reach my nose. My fur will shine,
and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house......
