AN ODE TO MY MASTER             DEDICATED BY LEAH TO JOHN MARLOW

SONNET WITH IAMBIC PENTAMETER

The love in my eyes come straight from my heart

For you have been my Master from the start.

I depend on you to fulfill my needs

With a ball in hand you gather my lead.

We walk to the field; I’m eager to run

You throw it far; we have such fun.

I jump high in the air and  catch the ball

You say “That’s my girl, you can do it all”.

When your labours are through you take your rest

To sit by your side is what I love best.

The food on your plate is really divine

I go to my bowl and some of its mine.

You sleep in your bed; I lay by your side

I’ll protect you always with love and pride
