It’s Friday everyone, and you know what that means! Poetry Friday! Today, we’ve chosen a poem from our new fall title, Lend a Hand: Poems About Giving, to share with you:
Puppy
The puppy we’re raising
is the cutest I’ve ever seen—
cuddly and playful,
with floppy ears
and a wagging tail
and a look on his face that says,
“Please hold me and love me.
I want to be yours forever,”
and before long
we’re going to give
him away.
He’ll be someone’s eyes
one day.
If you’re interested in working with puppies and training them to become guide dogs, you can check out a few of these great organizations:
