I find comfort in my bed

The soft plush pillows

The warm heavy blanket

Enveloping me in a protective hug

The only place my tired eyes rest

I find comfort in a sunday brunch

The food that makes any mouth salivate

The laugher ringing in my ears

The endless smiling faces surrounding me

The only time the worries evaporate 

I find comfort in the shoes I wear

Thick rubber soles that take me places

Shoe laces I had to learn to tie

The shoes wrap around my feet

They never leave my side

I find comfort in the sunset

When day turns to night

A distant array of soft warm colors

The sun leaving and the moon rising

The sunset ends the boundless day

I find comfort in a paper back book

Hiding me from the disappointing world

Delierving me escapism 

Teaching me lessons and stories

When the fantasy is sadly fiction

I find comfort in car rides

The constant change of scenery

The way the music blasts 

The wind from the open window

Car rides make problems dissipate

I find comfort in letters

The ones my grandma writes

Thick cursive almost illegible

Pretty messages and wishes

For once not a text or email
