India Opal

I am caring and curious.
I wonder from where Winn Dixie came?
I hear the dog saying, "Of course I'm a mess."
I see the pain and hurt of Winn-Dixie.
I want to keep Winn Dixie.
I am caring and curious.

I pretend to be an adult in the adult trailer park.
I feel Gloria Dump listening with all of her heart.
I touch everyone I meet in a special way.
I worry that I will not be able to recognize my mama.
I cry when I think about my mama leaving me.
I am caring and curious.

I understand how it feels to lose and miss someone.
I say everyone deserves a chance.
I dream about meeting my mama again one day.
I try to learn as much about my mama as I can.
I hope to one day be reunited with my mama.
I am caring and curious.

  1. Dixon, I like the fact that you included the line, "I say everyone deserves a chance." That says a lot about the theme of this book, doesn't it. I think you captured Opal's open spirit by including that line.
