I didn’t know what to expect,when I saw that dog for the first timeI thought, he must have someone to love himSomeone to sing him a rhymeHe smelled terrible, blood drippedfrom his earsMaking me think, ‘he’s been abusedfor years!’His many-colored-coat hungin greased stringsHe was matted and had overgrown nails,above all thingsSo I brought him homeI […]

I am kind and patient.I Wonder if fish sleep.I hear God’s command.I see the future in my cousin’s eyes.I want to get good grades.I am kind and patient.I pretend I can go into the future.I feel I can fly.I touch the soft clouds.I worry about my family dying.I cry about losing my cats.I am kind […]
