I got to thinking about Amy's poem about wanting a dog, so at home over lunch hour, I got into her scrapbook and found the poem. She was 7 or 8 when she wrote it. Below the poem is her drawing of a girl sitting in a chair with tears on her face. She also drew a girl hugging a dog, and a girl walking a dog. Here is the poem, in her words and spelling:
I Want A Dog
I want a dog to love and care.
I wish my chances could be fair.
But my Dad's allergic to the fur.
I wish a miricle would occur.
A Gearman Shepherd or a mutt.
There is a sad feeling in my gut.
I need a friend to love and care.
It's just too sad it isn't there.
Awwwwww. That is one of the sweetest things I've read in a long time. Probably since my Meghan was about 7 or 8 and was wishing for a dog of her own too.
Thanks for sharing that.
Awwwww! I got tears in my eyes.
That is SO sweet !!!! Miracles DO happen !!!
That is SO SWEET!!!
