Poem

One Family
Parents, two daughters and a son
Children were young and loved learning about life.
Together, they explored the world…often visiting the zoo.
Lover of:  the first child with her scientific mind; she loved to watch animals and hear their sounds.
Lover of:  the second child and her big heart; she could make life-like elephant sounds as a child.
Lover of: a son with strength; he enjoyed the zoo from his stroller and listened to us make animal sounds.
Who feels: happy when orangutans swing close enough to almost touch, connecting.
Who feels: ecstatic when the elephant takes a peanut from little hands…imagining a safari on its back.
Who feels: uncontrollable laughter when a baby chimpanzee swings and flips around in trees.
Who fears: the pacing tiger’s glaring look.
Who fears: the alligator’s thrashing, splashing and swimming close.
Who fears: the grizzly’s growl as it echoes through the park.
Who would like to see: the whole zoo while riding on elephants’ backs.
Who would like to see: family parrot pictures with birds on heads and every arm. 
Who would like to see: the king of beasts preening a little lamb.

Zoo-Ville is the place where my family found much fun.
