Sunnie and Her Soul

I love my dog Sunnie 
because she is really funny;
Balloons are her favorite toy
they will always bring her joy;

She is special to me
because she brings me harmony;

She definitely has a smile
as wide as The Nile-

When I come home from school and see her tail wagging
My feet are no longer dragging

To see her patient face
it makes me full of grace

She is truly unique 
and she wishes you to seek

the gentleness in the midnight breeze
and the beauty in the towering trees 

She will always be
a piece of me!
