An Animals Plee

I need to have some healing

I need your love so much,

But the thing that I need most of all,

Is just to feel your touch.

Does it matter I'm not human

Have four legs instead of two?

I'm not only 'just an animal',

My feelings count, they do.

So speak and reassure me,

In a voice that's really calm,

And lay your hands upon me,

Then I know I'm safe from harm.

Whenever I feel insecure

I'll find my strength in you,

So please , for me , just touch,

It's the best thing you can do.
