Addie's Poem

Why must I wander away from my home?

Why is it I that must roam?

Why don't the birds sing to me?

Why is it I that wanders 'way free?

I am the loaner, the one all alone,

Why doesn't anyone else leave their home?

I am a lover, and must always be loved,

I've never been kissed, or given a hug.



Now in my new home, I've found what I need,

The worries and prayers that I have once grieved,

Are now long forgotten,

Stuffed 'way like cotton

Never to be seen.

Now I have found love, like I've always dreamed,

Though it's not like it ever has seemed,

I found my true lover,

And he'll always love me.

Away from the shadows that I used to know,

Towards the light is where now I must go,

To the Abbey of Redwall,

I will find it all.



This story was made to show how Addie felt in the little time that had changed her life forever. The time where hope, friendship, and a few laughs proved to be the best medicine.

To friends and family, relatives and chums, I hope you understand the true meaning of love.
