My Animal Shelter
In my heart,
I see a place so special,
which is HiTor animal shelter.
An orange kitten named
Marmalade wants us to have her,
wants us to pet her,
"Maraow-Maraow."
I see grey, white, orange
and black fur
as soft as a cloud
as rough as a hairbrush.
In my heart,
I feel kitten bites,
soft nibbles.
I hear "Ar-rar-raar"
loud and crazy music
The dogs are making when
one of them is chosen for a walk.

I see a hundred eyes
looking at me,
hazel eyes,
eyes green as celery,
eyes brown as coconuts
and beautiful
and waiting
and wanting.

When I'm here
in my favorite place,
I'm excited and amazed.
This animal shelter
is my heart.
