Sheila Kathryn Barrera Poet Free verse

A Small Gift From God

She was so cute
the baby lizard
who came into my house
to find some bugs

So tiny, I feared
she would get caught
under my computer chair
Oh no!

I gently caught her
returning her to God
and her brothers and sisters
who play in my garden

She is where she belongs now.
