The doorbell rang; turns out it’s the neighbor’s young child,

Standing in the doorway foot turned inward; hair wild.

“I’ve drawn a picture of Little Pup for your fridge.”

Adding with a huge smile “He’s standing on a bridge!”

Mom thought and said “This is such a kind thing to do.”

And then said “I’ll display this sweet picture you drew.”

The child grinned from ear to ear with a new stature,

As Mom went to the fridge and put up the picture.

The child asked if Little Pup could come out to play.

Mom said “He will soon after his short nap today.”

And this is the day when a young child from next door,

Became a friend to Little Pup forevermore.
