Ode to my Pillow

Oh! warm clouds of cotton,

Who make their home

In my bedroom

The warmth of you,

Brings consolance upon me.

Stepped on

Tossed around

Unloved and always hidden from sight.

Taken for granted.

Tattered

Torn,

And worn.

For on you I will solemnly lay my head

Into dreams I can smoothly sail

After long days I run to you.

My faithfulness

Is with you,

And only you.

You hear my sorrows and screams

As well as my wishful dreams.

You are patient,

And loving

As you wait for my return.

With you I learned

That I was never alone.

Your convincing spirit always coaxes me to trust you

At my times of vulnerability.

You held my head

Through all the exams and tests

You give me a place,

A place to rest my head.

So I raise a toast,

Here is to you!

                                                                     My dear sweet pillow.
