this bed

this is the bed

where all have gathered

as long as i can remember

children come here

days ups and downs revisited

sometimes enveloped

more often perched

laughter

 jokes

we make plans

somehow it is like king's X

safe

at day's end

ollie ollie in free

now grandchildren come

squeeze in

this holy place

of consecrated love

made visible

to offer real rest

from worldly care

...
