If I were an animal.

If I were an animal, it's an easy choice you see
I have only one animal I would want to be.

It's not a cute puppy or a purring cat,
It’s not a bird of prey or a parrot, nothing like that.

I'd be a dragon, powerful but kind,
I'd share my gold with all I find.

To the very first person who left a comment on my poem—thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve decided to put down my pen and won't be writing any more poetry. I recently had a chance to read your latest work, and I must say, it is absolute beauty itself. Hope our paths cross again someday. By the way, I was writing to you all the way from South Korea! Take good care, and thank you so much for everything.
