My Dog Genna

                                                   My Dog Genna

(By: Ainslee)

On this cold summer morning, you lay

on the ground gasping for air in the warm vet’s office.

Wishing that you would not have to go through this pain.

They shoot a mysterious fluid into to your leg.

You begin to close your eyes.

I hold your paw for the last time

as I lay your head onto the hard ground.

My tears hit your body drop by drop.

I was hoping that the tears

would make you come alive again.

But those kind of things only happen in fairy tales.

This is reality.

Friends

Friends

(By, Ainslee)

We link arms

as we walk down the street together.

We laugh at each other's jokes,

even if they aren’t funny. 

We work through tough times together.

Like when your dog died

I was there for you.

When my grandfather

was in the nursing home,

you were there for me.

People say we are best friends.

But we are more than that

we are sisters.

Dreams

Dreams

(By, Ainslee)

Dreams are like a place

where your mind escapes

to its own mystical world

taking you along for the journey

                   

Sometimes scary

 Sometimes fun.

From colorful rainbows,

being adrift at sea,

to frightening dinosaurs

ready to eat me.

Everyone experiences

different dreams

because

Dreams are your

mind’s creation.

And one day

that dream will come true.
