New Puppy

I will get a puppy. Lilly thought for what seemed like the 1000th time. All her life she wanted a puppy, its all she ever wanted. Her parents thought she was not responsible enough for one though. At least they let me work at the local animal shelter though. Lilly thought ruefully. She spent everyday cleaning up after dog and puppies, feeding them, washing them, playing with them and taking them on walks. She wanted a puppy ever since she was three years old. Ive been working in an animal shelter for five years. Lilly thought as a wave of anger washed through her. FIVE YEARS. How was she not responsible enough? Lilly walked home trying to think of a way to sneak a dog into her room and hide it from her parents. Lilly walked into her house suprised to see a big box on the floor and her parents smiling at her. "whats going on?" She asked. "Look in the box" Her mom smiled. Lilly walked over and knelt down to open the box just as a giant ball of fur came through the box and landed on her lap. "A Puppy!" Lilly squealed.

  • Kept It All

    I keep everything i have left of you

    I still look at our pictures together

    We looked so happy

    I still have your sweatshirt

    It still smells like you

    I still have the stuffed animals

  • Finding Myself

    I found myself in the things I love

    In the music I listen to

    In the books I read

    In the posters on my walls 

    I found myself 

    In my favorite drink

    In going to the beach

    In writing poetry 

  • Wishing

    I've been asked a lot,

    If you had one wish what would you wish for?

    Blowing out candles on a cake,

    What did you wish for?

    Blowing the seeds off a dandelion,

    What did you wish for?

    I wish
