Buy Me a Puppy Daddy

This is a rhyme about my parents--although it could be about anyone's. I don't remember why or when I wrote it, but I came across it in my draft file today. It reminds me that I'm so grateful that I had wonderful parents. But so often these days when I see what others my age are experiencing, I'm so grateful to God that he allowed them a dignified, peaceful and "healthy" home-going with family by their sides.

Buy me a puppy Daddy
Give me a horse, pretty please!
"Save your dimes and dollars, Baby,
Animals don’t grow on trees."

Tell me a story Mommy,
read me a volume or two!
"Write your own my dear daughter,
Read it to me when you’re through."
