Katelyn's Fish



To Katelyn,

Once upon a time
In a land not so far away
There lived four friendly goldfish

They were very happy fish
Swimming and playing in their watery home
Then one day the wind turned cold
And the scent of winter was in the air
The fish’s friend Katelyn was worried
Would her pals freeze if left outside?
She kneeled one night and said a prayer
Asking God to provide for her friends
“Bring them a home to keep them warm,
And a nice person to feed them too.”
Then I came along with a great big pond
And a selection of fish flakes and pellets
Katelyn’s fish would even make new friends
And they’d live in a jungle of sorts
With a waterfall like home, and a fountain
So Katelyn’s fish took a ride to the city
They were excited to join their new friends
They’re now happy and healthy
And looking forward to summer again
