2 little poems by KV Needham
JUST US
I'm planning
for the future
I'm living
day to day
Just
dreaming of the time ahead
When I can
have you back to stay
We will have
such parties
Just you and
Teddy and I
We'll have
ice cream together
And fly your
kite high in the sky
We will
snuggle up in bed at night
And say our
prayers together
Take heart
dear child - cling on to me
For things
must surely soon get better
THE PUPPY
Four muddy
little paw prints
Through the
porch and hall
These are
what the puppy left for me
When he
answered Nature's call.
Last night
he chewed a cushion
The other
week a shoe
I blame
myself entirely
For giving
him to you.
I sometimes
think he's got to go
But who
would take his place
What would I
do without him
Who would
wash my face
Who would
take me for a walk
And give me
lots of cuddles
Who just
tries to please me
By walking
in the puddles
This tiny
little puppy
Is just so
cute and sweet
He's not cut
out to be too big
But he does
get underneath my feet.
His face is
full of mischief
His eyes are
full of glee
For when I
put him on the lead
Do I take
him or does he take me.
