Chaise Longue

With you,each day
in the quiet,pray
For you I wait each day
while you go into the 'fray
On my own alone
I laze the day away
Without you,I doze each day
how long I never say
In the sun I fade
your covers so deftly made
To me,exhausted you return
a faithful friend,so taciturn
With me,you take great delight
later,as you bed down, for the night

We always fight for the chaise at my home. It's the best place to plant yourself. Nice job Brian. Laurie

Great personification, Brian. I have always wanted one of theses beauties. If I ever get one I now know how devoted a friend they are and will treat it accordingly. Good luck! Thanks for all the support. Love, Robin
