Sleeping On the Floor

Was fine when
we were twenty,
bones supple,
and anywhere
was pleasure
as long as we
were together.
But middle-age
has a few rewards,
like this new
king size bed
with my side,
your side,
and high enough up
that bones
don't groan
when we disembark
in the morning.

hahaha, I love the line " when we disembark in the morning. My husband snored so loud that at first, I slept on the sofa, and he understood. Then when my middle son went into the service, I took his room. No more earaches since I moved out of the Bedroom.
