Sandra,
This children's poem teaches so much about friendship, and especially, about accepting others with differences.
Nice photo and a very nice read.
Blessings,
Cindy

Aw, thank you, Cindy! You must have had go back a way for this one. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I like writing fun poems that show children what fun it can be to be nice to others, without actually coming out and saying it. They can see it in the story. That's always been my plan, I don't know if it works! LOL. Thanks so much, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Sandra,
This is a simply rhymed and smoothly metered story about a good samaritan who helped two lonely animals meet. It is a metaphor about how good friendships can occur poeple of very different cultures, if only you try.
Keep writng and stay healthy

Thank you.

Your story was beautiful, Sandra. My butterfly did chase your giraffe and elephant, but Gerry and Ellie were just too fast for her. I'm proud to come in second to such a worthwhile entry. Have a love evening!

Well...they say "Opposites Attract"!!! And you have put
that message on display effectively. Nevertheless, you
continue to amaze me with your style of writing. It's like
being a kid, in a candy store....having a variety of flavors.
Nice! Keep Writing. And Stay Connected
