Creatures of Influence

They bark,

They roar,

They tweet,

They squeak.

These 2 legged, 4 legged, 8 legged friends

Will be my influences until the end.

They have taught me to be passionate.

They have taught me to be free.

They have taught me to be everything that is me.

They have shaped my life in more ways than one.

They have shaped my school,

My work,

My hobbies,

And buddies.

They are furry,

They are scaly,

They are feathery,

They are hairy.

Thank you for making my life extraordinary.
