Notes About The Poem

"to be loved is what everybody wants, to give love is what everybody tries to hide, but with the years, I´ve learned that giving love makes your soul wider" by poet

 


 

A New Toy

A new toy I found in the mall
for my beloved pet, 
a different toy from a ball, 
the one she loves to play with.
       A plastc chicken I chose for her, 
that at first, she didn't like at all, 
because it makes funny sounds, 
she was scared of.
       After a few days,
 I realized she was taking care of it,
she was always near to this new toy,
she didn' t want anyone to take it away,
nor anybody to be near to it.
       She keeps changing it from place to place,
treating it delicately, trying to keep it safe.
       Lying down next to it,  
she likes to be hugging this new joy for her.
As if her baby was, 
she's delighted just giving love.
       It doesn't matter if it's only a plastic toy,
she still appreciates what life gives to her: 
"the chance to love innocently".
