Lily was bored,
she had nothing to do
so she went on a search
for her best pup friend Lou.
Where was he hiding?
Lily thought really hard
then searched round the garden
and scoured the yard.
Sitting down slowly
she admitted defeat;
her tail stopped wagging
as she stared at her feet.
‘Where are you hiding,’
Lily then cried.
‘I cannot find you -
believe me, I’ve tried.’
As though in answer
there was a bark.
It came from the forest,
so gloomy and dark.
What should she do?
So far yet so near;
Lily vowed she would find Lou
in spite of her fear.
She walked along the path
and there stood the trees.
She ignored her shivers
and her knocking knees.
Her friend was in need
and she’d answer his call.
Lily climbed on a branch
then she started to fall...
Then to her rescue
Lou came abounding
with a glittering army
that circled around him.
Lily found herself lifted
then set down on her feet,
she looked round in wonder,
her amazement complete.
Butterflies flittered
and fairies flew round
as Lily and Lou
both ran around.
The forest, it glowed
with a magical light
that cast a spell
which removed Lily’s fright.
They played and they played
for hours on end
but too soon the evening
began to descend.
It was time to head home
but both pups would be back.
With Lou by her side,
all fear Lily would lack.
