Nothing Is as Good as Friendship

The sudden opening of my eyes.

Nearby a tiny child cries.

"Mommy the T-rex it's alive!"

He notices I've been revived.

''Oh, what a silly thing to say,

that's just a statue it's ok."

The mommy then looks up at me.

I slightly blink, she screams, they flee.

When I take a step, the crowds aware.

"It is alive run! Beware!"

Just as I am about to roar,

something catches my attention on the floor.

I bow my head so I can see,

why it's a miniature me!

I take a whiff, it isn't real.

It's made of rubber and stainless steel.

What a peculiar little thing,

the tiny boy was carrying.

I grab it, walk around and see

more things that resemble me.

One human wears an image of

me on his chest, am I beloved?

The creatures like me, that used to roam Earth,

I remember hated me since birth.

They would always run, try to fight or hide.

No one got to know me on the inside.

I was a predator, and they were prey.

I had no friends on any given day.

But things seem to be different now.

The humans are fascinated with me, WOW!

Down below I see the boy,

who first noticed me and dropped his toy.

I bow my head, him and his mom yelp.

"Help, please someone help!"

I open my mouth not too wide,

and drop his toy right by his side.

I close my mouth still fixated on him,

he grabs his toy and blurts. "I'm Jim."

The brave young one holds up his hand.

"NO!" shouts his mom from where she stands.

Jim touches my nose affectionately.

At last, I have a friend

to eat.

A friend who knows me inside and out,

Jim knows the kindness of my character and the inside of my snout.
