I’d like to be the mattress that you lay against each night,
the sunbeams in your window that wake you up each morning,
the mug full of coffee that you hold between your hands,
the water you shower under, falling over your sturdy frame,
the flannel that you love that wraps around you all day long,
the seat-belt that hugs your chest, whether traveling near or far,
the sleeping bag enveloping you as you watch the starry skies,
the gear that is protecting you as you fight a blazing fire,
all that keeps you safe,
and all that keeps you warm,
all that brings you comfort
is what I’d like to be
