OVERJOY

Edsaboy

Centre Daily Times 1958 newspaper picture

Didn't own a dog.

Won a pony, Edsa boy

Didn't write a blog.

Wrote a pet love letter of joy.

Written a few years ago.

You might remember the story.

Did you know?

High hopes and glory?

Never an insignificant particle,

misplaced or lost

a nostalgic newspaper article.

It's of irreplaceable cost.

Almost gave up,

Today, the article was found.

Shouting with glee, yup!

Feelings of overjoy and astound!

Author's notes: Thrilled to share my poem, "OVERJOY"
