Resting

A day of weary mind and body, She found herself in a comfy bed, So soft and relaxing, she lay back. Then both eyes started to rest, while hands were together on top of her stomach. So comfortable feeling, she started to snore. Sign of tired and stressful days she absorbed. She began to sleep so deep and dream suddenly occur. Her soul started walking a long narrow pathway. Taking slow motion and feet couldn't move so fast. There's a tiny light shining in a passage. She can barely move and reach the end of the road. She saw an old woman waiting for her at the end. The very familiar face she longed to touch and kiss again. "She's my mom!" she shouted aloud. "Mom, wait for me! I wanna be where you are." But the image suddenly disappeared. So she tried to run as fast as she can. When she reached the end, she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. A voice of a young lady saying,"Ma'am, wake up!" "Are you gonna take this bed?" "Is it for cash or thru credit card?" She stood up hurriedly and blushed. "No. Thank you! Your bed is soft and comfy, but I should go back." And her rest was over, now full recharged.
