I am kind and caring.
I wonder why the world is the way it is.
I hear the waves hitting the rocks on shore.
I see tiny minnows swimming near my feet through the salty water.
I want a furry and fun dog , just for me.
I am kind and caring.

I pretend to own my own diner with my friends.
I feel like there are angels among us.
I touch soft fur on my feline’s head while she rubs against me.
I worry about my Dad and his battle with MS.
I cry when something bothers me or makes me sad.
I am kind and caring.

I understand that everybody’s different and nobody’s perfect.
I say “ Laughter is the best medicine.”
I dream that someday I can help animals all over the planet.
I try to do the best I can.
I hope scientists find a cure for MS.
I am kind and caring.
