You know how they feel so soft to the touch like a hug at the end of the day And if you are weary of problems and such they're a refuge where it all slips away... Remembering back to yesteryear's days when my eyes took in color and light The most peaceful time I was tucked snug away in a bed of clean sheets for the night... As older I grew with a home of my own most housework I deemed as a waste But I loved hanging sheets in the breeze and the sun knowing soon on my bed they'd be placed... The point that I'm weaving throughout this small verse is simple but elsewise complete If it seems like your day gets increasingly worse lose it all in between some clean sheets... Pen how you truly feel... it is a safety-valve for the soul! [This message has been edited by Sunnyone (11-07-2002 11:35 AM).] |

Simple things are indeed a pleasure. Clean sheets at the end of a day are a refuge. Enjoyed |

In one of Douglas Adams books (It was either Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency or The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul) there's a god who takes form of an old man and lives in a retirement home. When the gods son asks why, he says "I get clean linen every day." And it is absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed your poem. |

Hi there Martie!!! Well, you could do it, as you are in the land of sunshine. I had to give up my English clothesline a couple of weeks ago, as my sheets just won't dry in this rain!! Thank you so much, and glad that you enjoyed!! Pen how you truly feel... |

 (smiles) Oh Sunnyone, this is wonderful, sweet friend, dreaming is my favorite part of every day, where I truly hold my Joanna and can lie down and seek refuge from the sorrows of the real world and media! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hi Sue!! Well, a duvet is a great invention, kinda like blankets and sheets all in one!! It's like a big huge pillow case (made of flannel or cotton in various prints) that covers your bed like a quilt. It has a quilted soft matt that fits inside it, and then the casing snaps shut. It is simply a removable padded blanket encased in a cloth bag. With the fitted sheet on the mattress, you just pull the duvet up, and your bed is made!!! (Thanks for reading, too) Hi Midnitesun!! Oh yes, it is raining and cooling off here, but I don't mind! This is just like the Oregon coastal weather I grew up in, so it suits me fine. Glad you liked this one, too!! Hi Noah!! Nightime is the best time for dreaming, my friend, and I wish you and Joanna only the very best!! Hi sigheyes...and thank you for stopping in to view my ramblings!!! Hello fellow Scorpio!! If this conjured up some warm fuzzies for you, then I am happy!! Thank you for such a nice reply!! Pen how you truly feel... |

Hi Sunny. I have to agree, and add SOFT sheets to the mix.If they are soft and clean and sweet smelling, it makes a great refuge, especially when you are there alone. Cute verse,too Sandra |
