Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Making the Bed

Another dawn, another day,

I rearrange the disarray.

Before I dress, before I eat,

before I exercise my feet,

I must smooth and tuck the linen sheets.


I fluff the pillow, pull the spread,

and once again, I’ve made the bed.


I'll face the day with pride and strength,

and soon be back to bed at length.

All day I work until I drop,

then back, again, to bed, I hop.



Perhaps you think my life is sad

But I'll not cave and stay in bed

I'll tuck the sheets and smooth the spread

Perhaps you call my routine dull?

I will find some peace in something small

Tim B January 26, 2012 at 10:49 AM I like this one, it is playful and poetic at heart but captures the relaxation of that which seems routine but is rather the catalyst for which to start the day. Excellent Mrs. Carrie.
