What does comfort mean to me?
A hot cup of tea and the wind in a tree.
What does comfort mean to you?
Let’s make a list; name one or two.
A dear friend’s smile,
Finding a feather,
Movies and popcorn,
A shift in the weather.
Lavender everything,
The earth-smell of rain,
Patches of sunlight,
A smooth windowpane.
The hush of old bookstores,
The fuzz on a sweater,
The weight of a blanket,
Or writing a letter.
Warm mac n’ cheese,
An chill autumn breeze,
A big bear hug,
A long-lost sneeze.
A new laptop sticker,
A dog’s silky ears,
Romping with kittens,
Loud laughter through tears.
A crackling fire,
A trip to the Shire,
Candlelight dinners,
And cozy attire.
Starlight and moonlight,
And kisses and dancing,
A home full of love,
Life can be so entrancing.
There are many more things,
Like sunrises and ‘sets,
Old tv shows, or holidays,
Or fresh-baked baguettes.
In quiet things I take refuge,
And now this I will pray:
That you all may find comfort
Each one in your own way.
