Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Birthday Wish

I made a birthday wish one night
while blowing out my candles' light.
I wished my dad would let me get
a dog to keep as my own pet.

I looked for four-leaf clovers too
in hopes my wish would then come true.
On first stars of each night I made
the same wish, and of course I prayed!

The Christmas after I turned eight,
no longer did I have to wait,
for not just one or two, but THREE
cute dogs I saw beneath the tree.

it was a very big surprise.
I hardly could believe my eyes.
All of my wishing brought to me
three dogs named  Billy, Jax, and Lee.

Duke Beaufort December 16, 2023 at 10:52 AM It's very nice to have wishes granted and especially when we are young and innocent. I'm glad this turns out the way it did for some. It's something to think about--how we treat children's wishes. We don't want to make spoiled brats, but we do want to give opportunities. Life is funny in this regard.

Hiya Sharma December 16, 2023 at 8:06 AM Awh, oh my, I can imagine the magical joy that you must have felt in your heart! This is such a beautiful write, reflecting the excitement that you felt just at their adorable glimpses when your wish came true.. Awwwn, my heart is melting too.. Sending you light, always, absolutely gorgeous this is :) Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2023 at 9:36 AM I am more a cat person, but this could happen somewhere on this earth to a child!

Ink Empress December 16, 2023 at 7:26 AM Awwn this is so beautiful how you’ve written about this and how well you’ve delivered, do you have a dog now too? I always enjoy reading your poems dear andrea sending you light always.. Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2023 at 9:38 AM I have one dog and two cats. All are about 3 years old now. The cats are not as affectionate as I'd hoped for. They are ok, but i can't seem to find one like I had 20 years ago which was the perfect lap cat. Our Australian Shepherd dog is nice. She can be a bother at times, but she is very loving.

Sam Kauffman December 15, 2023 at 11:03 AM What a wonderful story, Andrea! These lines highlight the faith of a child, not childish, but made with the wise faith of a child's heart.
