Thunder

I was overjoyed when I found out
Sitting in our car about to shout
Tears streaming down my eyes
What a tremendous surprise!

Once we had finally arrived
After a 45 minute drive
We went by all the gates
Till we reached the last crate

And finally there he silently sat
And I gave him a little pat
Then I begged, “Please can we take him today.”
They said, “It might just go that way.”

He had one stripe of white down his chest
It was white like a wedding dress
Then I heard my parents say,”Alright we will take him.”
“We’ll call him Thunder.” I said with a grin
