Crayon Dog

Crayon Dog

I remember so long ago

I was just a boy no more than six

Left alone for five minutes with a box of Crayolas

A blank white wall was my canvas

I drew and drew

To me that bunch of lines was a beautiful dog

Orange, blue, brown and green

My Mom came in

She was mad, but she just smiled

And she drew a cat right next to my dog

She loved me

That was so long ago

Now I have kids of my own

When they find their canvases

I will just smile

Sit next to them

And help them draw a better dog than I did
