Because of Winn-Dixie.I Am, Michelle Turvaville

Who AM I

I am wise but lonely
I wonder when I will find someone to love me as much as I love them
I hear the sweet sound of music and a voice filled with love calling my name
I see big warm eyes and a wonderful smile that lights up my world
I want be surrounded by the ones I love and who give me joy
I am wise but lonely
I pretend that this time it will last forever
I feel warm and full of love
I touch the lives of my loved ones with an open and welcoming gaze
I worry everyone will forget about me and I will be all alone again
I cry on the inside when others around me are sad but I give them a warm and reassuring smile
I am wise but lonely
I understand that the life I have may not last forever
I say everyone’s day becomes brighter with a friendly smile
I dream that the people who surround me now will stay with me forever
I try to be helpful and behave as much as I can
I hope that they will love me enough to keep me forever
I am wise but lonely
