Poem { Simple Love

gentle creature curled in my lap
you sleep so contented
so peaceful
you ask of me so little
food, shelter, love, and a warm safe place to sleep
I give to you my lap and warmth and comfort
you forgive
you do not judge
you help me focus on the now
to forgot, for a brief time the rest of the world
the struggle of life
for a brief period, I am calm
