If you only knew how much energy it took to go up and down those stairs, following you;
If you only knew how long those walks really were when you count steps times four;
If you only knew what it took to smell those smells and add mine to the mix;
If you only knew how much courage it took for me to bark at those big dogs and protect you;
If you only knew what it took to run up and down the same hallway, grabbing the same toy, to entertain you;
You’d be ready for a rest, too.
