Sunday Scribblings #8 - Fellow Travelers

The Sunday Scribblings Prompt this week is "Fellow Travelers". We are being asked to think about the people we find ourselves traveling beside in life. Whether on a bus or on a plane, or simply as we move through our days, who are our seatmates? For some reason, when focusing in on this topic, my heart shifted inward. I focus on my one constant companion as I travel through my days. We all have our own, this one's mine:

Thank You

I awake with your kiss on my brow

and I inwardly thank you again

I rise, ready to face the world once again

with you by my side.

Stepping outside my door

you paint a picture for me

snow covered, sunlight streaming through

the trees

Just for me, you say

And I inwardly thank you again

Hours later, you sing to me

my mother calls to say hello

my brother asks me for advice

my father tells me he loves me

your song is beautiful

And I inwardly thank you again

You put your chef's hat on

and together we create a satisfying meal

I eat to my heart's content,

You let me take the credit for how it tastes

And inwardly, I thank you again

You tuck me in, sweet kisses as the lights go out

I feel your presence as I snuggle in my warm covers

Another day we've spent together

My favorite travel companion

For this, I thank you.
