Creature Comforts
Indulgences.
It may be at a café,
An extra special meal,
An invitation out to dinner,
A feeling that is real.
Or sitting sideways on the beach
With a rainbow in the air
Being with my daddy
Life without a care.
It’s some creature comforts,
Lying warm and safe in bed,
Living life in harmony,
Free and clear of dread.
Reading writing wriggling,
Being at home alone,
Walking near to nature,
Going for a roam.
The joy of vibrant company,
Gardening outdoors,
A life free of fear or favor,
Sidestepping the bores.
Regulating TV time,
In charge of the remote,
The time spent on the Bay,
Skimming in a boat.
A cup of creamy coffee,
Scrambled eggs on toast,
Sitting down with the family,
For the Sunday roast.
The sense of sensuality,
The magic touch of love,
Green grass in the garden,
The coo of the peace dove.
Friendship is the fabric,
Love the clothes I wear,
Living in the moment,
Being constantly aware.
One or two will do,
They make the world go round,
Creature comforts,
They keep my feet on the ground.
