White curly hair,
Short stubby legs,
Black eyes and nose,
Tiny tail curled up and wagging,
I catch a glimpse of this little puppy,
Then I notice,
My blue converse sneakers,
In shreds,
Without laces,
Holes in the soles,
She runs up to me,
And licks my arm,
Trying to apologize,
I guess,
I’ve forgotten about the crime,
And she trots away,
When I remember,
That I don’t have shoes to wear tomorrow.

This is a true story about my puppy, Maddie. See the picture named Maddie Mischief for the picure I wanted to include with this poem.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Maddie is such a dork.... The poem gave me a good visual picture of Maddie chewing on you shoe!

Jeremiah 20:9<br /> But if I say, I will not mention him (God) or speak any more in his name, his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary in holding it in, indeed I cannot.

This was such a cute poem( and a funny one at that) I understand those "pet issues" if you know what I mean.
