The Red Blanket

Compassion, love, and peace-
filled blankets
take the nightmares away,
brings laughter and joy
languid comforts to sleep
past and future to keep
puddles of memories
cuddles of warmth.
Exquisite, elegant aroma of oak
clouds the cradle
caressing, nurturing the infant –
once sobs; now silence.
Sweet smiles raise your spirits.
It's not rocket science
touch of magic enhances the time of love –
never hustled,
the baby now hushed.
