QUITE
Whenever I hop in bed and turn out the light
Just ready for sleep and to shut my eyes tight
No matter what through this day has been my plight
Snuggling in with you makes the world a little more right
A day can be filled with things sunny and bright
Others can be filled with things that cause fright
They can wear you out either alot or so slight
But when I climb in with you my burdens take flight
In this safe place I am able to gain new insight
And to let wounds heal from this day’s fight
Sometimes I’m laying here humble and contrite
Planning tomorrow’s strategies if just out of spite
For lying here with you my soul finds delight
And I’m able to gather up my strength and might
To reassemble my armor like a wily old knight
And gather up words that I may one day write
Hoping that others may be inclined to recite
How there’s a longing for this very special site
We will let nothing come and cause a blight
On curling up next to you to find a new height
