My dragon sleeps with her head on my king bed<\/p>\n
Her body rests on the floor while her rather<\/p>\n
Long tail wanders out the window to the brook<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She will not offer her name so I call her Dragon<\/p>\n
Hoping she is not offended though she responds each time<\/p>\n
Dragon is centuries old and not to pry I don\u2019t ask<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dragon requires no food from me and I hold out hope<\/p>\n
She refuses to murder the sweet creatures in the yard<\/p>\n
She\u2019s a healthy girl with clean habits and little care<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A secret to all including my pup who shares our bed<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t risk being misunderstood and considered<\/p>\n
An aging old gal in need of professional service<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I always wanted a dragon not realizing that all<\/p>\n
I had to do was ask and behold she was here<\/p>\n
To lean on in sleep and dream past this life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I look forward to one windy ride before I die<\/p>\n
With long white hair billowing behind me<\/p>\n
My final blessing in this already grand life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
