wishing the placement of frost
is keeping us inside
near the heat of a blanket and
tasting a long summer smoked turkey soup
each hour like its very own national holiday
raising up just long enough to refill
your cup or update where the next nap begins
dedicated to giving you every last wish
insuring you do not have to do anything if you don’t want to
settling in to your own little comfy curl up spot
put your feet up and show your nifty socks
let the time stretch out like your ice cream snack
and have those yawns of afternoon be shared
you are here for me and i am here for you
staying here forever is my dream
