A Lick Goodnight

I say goodbye and add a lick goodnight,
and in return receive a goodnight kiss.
Some think it's strange, but I think it's alright
that we both choose to say goodnight like this.

I wake up in the morning and see you
and a lick to you is what I bestow.
We may look strange to others that is true.
Sometimes what we love is just what we know.

Each day when you come home I just look up,
and I see you looking back down at me.
For you are my human and I your pup,
and that is the way it was meant to be.

You're happy to see me every day,
and I am happy to see you that way.
