Back in January, Lynne talked Travis into submitting a poem for the “Pets Add Life” poetry contest. The poem was for children between grades 3-8 and they were supposed to tell about the “joys and benefits of owning pets.” After some coaxing and prodding, Travis set out to create his masterpiece. Here is Travis’ poem:
“Cisco”
One ear up
And one ear down,
I always love
Having you around.
You are a part of me
And I am a part of you.
You are the one
Who keeps me persevering through.
Whenever times are hard
You always keep me strong,
And ever since I got you
I knew I wasn’t wrong.
I know we’re brothers from different mothers
But my love for you is rife.
A human is just a human
Until a pet adds life.
Travis

Well, low and behold, we just found out that he won out of the 5th graders. Wow! Not only does Travis win a gift card, but he also earned a scholarship for his class to apply towards pet related education or supplies. It goes to show, you never know until you try…
