The Flea

There once was a flea who lived on
the back of the neak of a dog

But the flea thought the dog
was a mighty warthog

How brave was the flea in battle
with the hog every day

When in reality the dog chased
the cat in every way

One beautiful eve the dog
laid down and died

The flea climbed down and
looked him straight in the eye

"My O my" said the flea
"Your not a warthog I see"

But one things for sure
You were a grand friend to me.

(big hugggsssssss) Awwwwwwww, I couldn't help but cry reading this, it saddened me to see the dog's time come, but also made me smile to feel the flea had a friend to be close to! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is sooooooo beautiful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Connie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
