I'M a 9 Revised

Zira
                         You bring me peace
                    With your head on my lap
                 I gently stroke your wavy hair
            Lovingly I bend to kiss your forehead
                Thanking God for giving me you
                    You have become my calm
                            My loyal friend 
                                    Zira

This poem pays homage to pets. They use animals in hospitals because of all the benefits they provide. I love, love, love this poem.
