QUITE

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
