Gratitude Day #2: Fleece Edition

An Ode to My Fleece


Oh, fleece. What would I do without you?

You are my comfort
my warmth
my jacket
my nap blanket
my bathrobe
sometimes my pajamas
and always my friend.

You are always right there where I left you,
and when I slide myself into your soft embrace
I wonder why I ever took you off in the first place.
(Oh yeah...to take a shower....)

Your weight is perfect, your colors hide stains.
I can wear you when it's sunny and when it rains.

Oh, my old fleece. When the weather started getting cooler
and I opened the closet door, there you were, making my heart leap
for joy that we could be together again.

Thank you, fleece. I'm grateful for you!
