day 18. comfort/Our Lost Jungle


                 Comfort

Children have fingers and thumbs,
blankets, pacies, or  lullabies
as sweet comforting allies
when a needful time-out comes.

I’m too old for those palliatives
but books, a bubble bath and prayer
help to sweetly clear the air
when faced with life’s agitatives.
