Our Trip to the Zoo

Our trip to the zoo,

A special gift from Josh,

We had tickets because of you.

I wish you could be with us.

I could almost see you there,

Marveling at the animals,

Roaring like the lions,

Hopping like the frogs.

I could almost hear you fighting

As we traveled along,

“He started it, mom”,

“I didn’t do anything wrong”.

I found myself looking for you

At every corner we turned.

I stopped to catch a glimpse of you,

When I heard your name called.

The elephants, the zebras, the giraffes

Were all there.

But someone was missing,

A child with a head of blonde hair.
