This poem is a guest post from my then 11-year old granddaughter. She wrote this poem for her Language Arts class, and she has given permission to post her untouched words just as she wrote them. Enjoy the gratitude that she shares.
This warm bed
that is really comfy and soft
that is only payed off
by my parents and their jobs
that is filled with
blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals
that is around me as I
dream off to sleep
I lay there at night
to recharge my body
I lay there to rest
my body
I lay there if I am sick
to help heal my body
I lay there to wake up
to get ready for the day
As we get ready to
dream off again
I lay there ready to fall
asleep
Soon I am fast asleep ZZZZZZ
