Blankets

On a cold winters night, you carry my burden out of love

Denounced is my strength and defenses

The warmth of the embrace with a receiving end

I am at the mercy of your hugs

The bed creaks yet still supports     

You are my father

The mattress flaccid but still bouncy

You are my sister

The blankets layered like croissants

You are my mother

You are my family

None like the others
