Melissa Hudson - Grade 5 Memorial School, Cinnaminson: Finalist - Grades 4-6

Adoption Day

By Melissa Hudson - Grade 5
Memorial School, Cinnaminson

Today is the day
When my wishes will come true,
That's why I must say,
This happy poem to you.

For today is Adoption Day
At our local Pet-a-Farm,
Gee, I hardly can wait
To hold a little puppy in my arms.

It's time the gate is open,
I could hear the puppies cry,
They would wonder who would take them home
And tell you the truth, so did I.

As I hurried through the bunch
There was one that caught my eye,
For he was all alone
And just about to cry.

Just then I saw a tear drop down,
His tiny little eye.
They were the saddest eyes I ever saw,
They made me want to cry.
