I have this enormous WANT…
That’s the only way I can describe it
I want…
It’s there all the time, like a cyst
Threatening to overwhelm me
I put it aside when I sleep
I ignore it while I eat
But it always comes crashing back
I don’t know what I want
Something
Whatever it is, I haven’t got it
Or the want would go away
Wouldn’t’ it
Would I still be carrying this burden
If I had ever found what it is
What it is that I want, I mean
Would it be there, looking over my shoulder
If it were satisfied
I’m not sure
Maybe we all have one, I just can’t see yours
Is that true
Do you ever just …want
something
I think it might be ice cream

Yes, I understand that feeling and the hungering does go away at times and then I realize what I missed.
You ask some really great questions, Sue. And to answer you, I think we all want Something - all the time - but quite often we don't know exactly what it is.
She was quite capable of taking care of herself...She appreciated everything he was doing for her and the Grandmothers Four, but she needed his help, not for him to take over.
Children will enjoy reading and hearing about the silly antics of a puppy still learning how to be a good listener. This story is about Riley, a cute, little, rescue puppy who gets into all sorts of predicaments.
Happy eating
