Soft blanket for cuddling
\nWith a fuzzy inside.
\nStuffed animals to protect from the cold wall.
\nA squishy pillow to rest my head.
\nA nice soft mattress to bring it all together.<\/p>\n
I grew up on this mattress.
\nIt moved up and down.
\nFrom top bunk to regular bed
\nAnd back and over again.<\/p>\n
Now it\u2019s stuck as a regular bed.
\nI took it from my parents,
\nAnd removed it from its fellows.
\nNever again will it stack up high.<\/p>\n
Over the years,
\nMy bed has changed.
\nNew blankets, new sheets,
\nAnd new stuffed animals.
\nBut it has always been my bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
