I Know She Sees Me

I know she sees me sitting here
my pretty face with an intense stare
I know she'll set a place for me
next to her is where I'll be
She's cooking things that smell so great
This can't be my kibble on this plate
She eats her dinner and doesn't look up
for just one taste I'd give her my toy duck
She treats me great
takes me for walks
pets my furry face
smiles when she talks
I know she loves me
I have no doubt
but when she serves dinner
I feel so left out
