Pets
Dog: You came to us from the local pound
Cat: An opened door and in you bound
Crow: We rescued you during a freezing rain
Canary: You sang to us when we were in pain
Guppy: Our oldest brought you home in a bowl
Neon: One, two, three...we wanted a shoal
Chick: For Easter you seemed the perfect bond
Duck: You soon took over the children’s pond
Our pets over the years have come and gone
Our children, too. Now, we are alone
