7 She'd frolic and play in the meadows so green, Chasing butterflies, leaping, a sight to be seen.

But Annie, though joyful, felt something was missing, A puzzle, a piece, or perhaps just some kissing.

A possum was trapped, in a plight quite dire, Annie knew at that moment; she could lift him higher.

She'd assist the lost kittens or bring ducks back to ponds, Creating bonds that went far, far beyond.
