Swayed not by slight of movement
At end of day

These gifts
Of which I harbor
No less short of miracles

Wow, definitely see why this should be celebrated! Congratulations! And beautiful job honoring the hands and work that go into the creation of a comfort so many of us take for granted. I love your wording and the quiet peace woven into it - as if readers get to be the bed that you lay this prayer down on.
Beautifully articulated! I love the subtle references to religious language that makes this piece feel like worship and praise of something we often take for granted - a soft place to lay our heads!
Congratulations. Nicely observed and beautifully written. We all know the comfort of our own bed but can't convey it as well. (I'm curious, exactly what thread count are we talkin' here?)
Ah, the humble bed, wonderfully glorified. Congrats!
