alone in my bed
silvery moonlight bathes me
tucked beneath its glow

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Oh, I like this-can relate.

I can remember feeling something like this as a child,

(being)--------"alone in my bed
(feeling this)-silvery moonlight bathes me
(and being)----tucked beneath its glow"

Thanks for stirring the memory pot.. :-)

Yes, I imagine most of us are able to relate to those days . . .
Some of the scariest times of my childhood were spent
huddled beneath the blankets and quilts hiding from
the badman man.

I was looking for something to warm myself with Miss Days. Thank you for providing it and the extra bonus of a smile.

More feelings and fewer words please

Thank you so much everyone for your super nice comments!

Ah, our childhood bed where, under the cover,s you could be a fairy princess and I could join the legions of the valiant, where did it all go?

So very true, well done.

Cari.

I too relate in memories to the sweet and cozy atmosphere you evoke here. A real "feel good" offering, thank you!

Love,
Margherita
