Featherbed In the Sky

Featherbed in the sky,
so soft and clean you are.

Such beauty you behold,
oh, sleeping on this bed,

is so fine and tender,
dreams come so easy here.

Floating along the landscape,
I look down at the forest,

below and wonder where
all of my friends went to.

Featherbed so white
and fluffy all around me,

to keep me company
in this silence I share.

James it has been a long time since I thought or heard of a featherbed - My grandmother made me one as a child - thank your for a most enjoyable memory - God Bless you James
