The New Pet

Went to the pet store to get a new pet
A Gecko was the one I really wanted and yet
Maybe bird, frog, or gerbel
No definitely not a slow creeping turtle

A lizard was truly the only choice
When I bought her she had no voice
Quietly I brought this beauty home
Now I need to give her a name with the right tone

She is a girl a real beauty
Needs a name that is truly suited
I know that it needs to be beautiful also
I have it now Elizzardbeth the cutie

(We will leave early tomorrow for Ft. Gordon
for the second time to try for our son's surgery.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers issued up
for us and our son Tommy, Jr. We will be 
gone until he is okay.Thanks for all the comments
and prayers ...I will try to catch up when we are
back home.)

Such a sweet write, my friend Sara. I haven't been online lately too much, so I didn't find out about your son until now. My prayers are with you and your family. I wish you all the best, Emily
