Bed How I Love Thee

Bed how I love thee Let me count the ways …. Always ready when I am sleepy And in need to rest my weary bones You keep me warm and cosy Are the best company when l feel alone You comfort me when I am unwell Help me to mend and heal Are there when I need to escape the world, When life's worries and woes I feel When nature is raging outside You make me feel safe and secure With my head under the covers You protect and reassure I share you with the one who holds my heart You have watched my child grow Many tears and much laughter you have heard Private thoughts and discussions you know You are a great keeper of my secrets You know the real me Supportive, available and inviting Bed how I love thee ……

Such a cozy and heartfelt tribute! I love how you gave voice to something we all rely on but rarely appreciate this deeply. The warmth, comfort, and even the secrets—beautifully expressed.

Happiness is a duvet’s warm embrace…Blimey… That was almost poetic! Actually, I grab ‘me’ time in the very late hours of each day, so while I’m often reluctant to go to my bed…. I’m always reluctant to get out of it!. Enjoyed your creative bedtime story, Deb. Terry
