My favorite animal

I like animals.

How some of them are big and small,

But I only have one favorite out of them all.

The horse, the horse is the one I admire most of all.

The way I grew up with them when I was small.

I love riding and brushing there mane.

How shiny and wet it is in the rain,

And how they trot all around the grassy plains.

I would very much like to have my own,

Even though I have a dog and her bone.

I don't care much for color, like chestnut and bay,

But I would like to have a horse to ride and play.

Most importantly, the horse symbolizes me,

I was born in the year of the horse,

That's how I am filled with glee.

Most of all, the horse has been part of my life,

And that's why the horse is my favorite,

Even when I die.

The horse made me who I am,

Becuase I am me.
