I sat and watched the world go by
fascinated by what I saw
as campers walked around the park
or drove slowly which is the law
all with things on their mind
that only they could be aware
some had maybe a dog or two
taking them out their time to share
for exercise that they both accrue
is better spent with much less care
when walking out with your best friend
spending time just anywhere
others who were by themselves
were deep in thought as they passed by
with problems that required their time
which only they can reason why
sometimes a truck or car would pass
on their way to who knows where
maybe going into town
to visit friend’s or have business there
I can only sit and watch
and guess at what their lives may be
I only know I am content
watching them is amusing to me
Human Nature is a funny old thing
of the billions of people in the world
we all have a different song to sing
and we only have our lives to unfurl
it matters not what others may do
as we lead our separate lives
we cannot walk in another’s shoes
only in our own to survive.

Sometimes it is nice to sit and watch the world go by.
I guess the dogs know that as well.
