Not Lost, but Forgotten

By Debron Acosta

He opens the door

My ears perk with curiosity

He smiles as he walks off the porch

I greet him licking his hands eagerly

He gives me a scratch on the head

I roll over playfully begging him to scratch my belly

 In a haze of dust he is gone

The bus riding down the bumpy gravel rode

He has no time to play with me

I am one of his toys that he has grown out of

Not lost, but forgotten

Like a toy I sit here waiting…..
