Gracie the Loyal

Gracie follows me from room to room

Her skinny little tail wagging

I swear she smiles when I tell her

How much I love her

She is a gift from God.

A goofy hilarious girl

Who makes our hearts

Sing.

Sometimes she rolls on my feet

And grunts and woofs

Her ears go up when we tell her

She looks pretty in her latest apparel.

You will never convince me that dogs

Don’t have ESP because I know Gracie

Reads my mind.

If I am sad she is right there

Giving me a nose kiss

Her soul is like a diamond

She has the heart of a lion

In a fifty pound pit bull body

I would not trade her for a ton of gold
