Precious Angel
Unerringly she always knows
when I need a hug.
Or a friend to sit calmly by.
Never does she judge.
I hold her here within these arms,
when the sadness calls.
Lays her head upon my shoulder,
as my tears do fall.
With her overflowing patience,
she accompanies me.
In public, as to seem normal,
not reclusively.
She alerts me unobtrusive,
when fear overtakes.
A gentle touch and eye contact,
tells me I am safe.
Embodiment of humanity,
this hero of mine.
She gives to me daily,
healing over time.
Although she isn't human,
she has done wonders.
Emotional Support Animal,
I couldn't "Live" without her.
