Comfort Poem by Dean Bottomlley

Thumb in mouth contentment brings
To baby in a cot.
A blanket grasped in tiny hand
Hugs a little tot.

A silky ribbon smooth and soft
Brings slumber to a child.
These little things bring so much peace
When all the world is wild.

Today my world was opened up
I craved some comfort near.
Some thing to calm a racing heart
Chase away my fear.

And there you were, scared as me
And yet you did not flinch.
Your stayed by me when all went dark
And never moved an inch.

And when the roller coaster stopped
My mind once more on land.
I reached for all I need then
And you gave me your hand.
