My mother loves her animals and me; And, of course, my sister's* in there, too. She shows her love quite unmistakably: She pets us all, no matter where or who. I haven't sprouted yet a bushy tail, Nor has my sister* grown a toothy snout; But I sometimes feel a dog in such detail I pant and bark and scurry all about. But I am glad my mother has a love That cuts across the paths of innocence. I know that her sweet feelings long will move Me to appreciate her scents! *Feel free to change to "brother."
