Three pillows
You sit…you wait…until I am in your embrace
Never far from my reach
You welcome me after a hard day
Surrounding me with your support
Comforting me when I am tired and spent
Cushioning the blows of a bad day
Soaking up tears shed over heartbreak
Cradling the head of a sick child
Holding me close in late night readings
Letting me scrunch you at scary movies
Always willing to host a dog or two
My Three Amigos in life
The Triple Crown of my race
The Three Musketeers to save me
And dare I say, The menage a’ trois of my dreams

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
