A family pet.

Daily writing prompt
What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?

Well our family weren’t allowed pets,

There was good reason as my family had quite a few debts,

The budget was balanced to keep our heads above water,

There was no room for a pet it would put us in deepwater,

So as a family we did without and it was necessary,

We had each other and we were merry,

But as soon as I got a place of my own,

I visited a rescue centre and chose one who looked all alone,

A dog who wanted me to be his friend,

And all came good and it was a happy end,

My mum was not so happy she never understood why,

But the reality was she loved him just as much as I.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
