Some of the children were playing outside. When something caught Crystal`s eye. It was a little puppy someone had put out. The puppy had been beaten there was no doubt. He had been beaten very bad it seemed. The children wondered how anyone could be so mean. They looked at each other and said what can we do? They looked at Crystal and said he`s looking at you. Crystal held the puppy tight in her arms. She promised him she would keep him from any harm. She took the puppy and went home by herself. She said mama will help me bring you back to health. Her mother looked at her and said don`t be sad. I don`t think he`ll make it he`s hurt really bad. She carried the puppy up to her room. She cleaned his wounds and said you`ll be well soon. She got on her knees and said God I`m just a little girl. I don`t know much about life in this world. I know there is not much more I can do. Will you please help my puppy and God I sure do love you. Crystal`s prayers were answered that night. With Gods help that puppy put up a good fight. Crystal and her puppy she calls Faith everything they do share. Because one little girl took time to care.

(tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless that sweet little girl, this is such a beautiful poem of true love and Faith! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, oh my gosh, my face is flooding with tears now, this is soooooooo beautiful! It saddened me to see such cruel people hurt that poor innocent puppy at first, but then I cried in joy as that sweet little girl healed the puppy. We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Juanita, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Dear Juanita, What have I told you about posting warnings? Here I am, with tears trying to fall down. How am I supposed to tell myself I'm tough as nails when all it takes is two verses of one of your poems and I'm watering the keys? Of course, it was wonderful-now stop it! Nan |
