I went to the grocery store
For a box of macaroni, rice, and tomatoes.
I went to the grocery store
And came back with a dog.
I called him Winn-Dixie.
Winn Dixie was big, ugly, and smelly.
He ran all over that store.
I loved him from the moment he smiled at me.
I had never met a dog that could smile
Until I met Winn-Dixie.
I brought him home to my daddy.
He said he could stay.
He fell in love with that dog the same way I did.
I don’t feel so alone now.
Now that I have Winn-Dixie.
I go all over town to visit my friends.
Winn-Dixie is at my side.
We visit Miss Franny Block and Gloria Dump,
And we work at the pet shop with Otis.
All my friends love Winn-Dixie.
I have learned a lot this summer.
I have made lots of new friends.
I have dealt with the demons my daddy and I share.
I have grown a lot this summer.
Because of Winn-Dixie.
