Once the sunshine came.
She knew she’d be all right
She stretched and let it pour over
The face and legs.
The dogs seemed surprised
to be outside in the warmth.
They had forgotten too.

"Sunshine" is a delight. The whole poem turns on the last line, "They had forgotten, too." The image of sunlight pouring (at all), and then pouring over face and legs is lovely. Switching to the dogs' perspective helps frame out the message so nicely.
