A slight awakening...

I was napping on my bed
the sun shining on my face
All the pain of being sick rushes back
I feel like utter crap.

I realised what my dream was
I realised how much I would lose;
all the people
everyone I loved.

The fear of leaving
makes me cold
I reach for my blanket
and begin to sob.

I hear the door crack open
I wipe my tear in a hurry
And in he walks with so much courage
sits right on my bed, and kisses me.

Who would have thought
my four legged friend
could be the one to keep me warm
to make me safe, when I needed a friend.

How is it that we always fight with siblings
but when cheering up is needed
they don't have to ask whats wrong
to make you smile once again.

We claim our parents are from another planet
they do not understand us
so how is it when I was the most depressed
their comfort was all that was sought.

Oh the things we take for granted
We only see when we can lose them
A slight awakening from a nap
oh the things it uncovers.
