I love feathers,
they are ticklish things,
they’re soft and smooth
and such joy they bring.

They can bring a smile
or change a mood,
create laughter...
or share something good.

They can lighten heartache,
dry a tear,
calm the restless;
last for years.

They’re light as air
and float smoothly too,
stuff a pillow,
make a mattress for you.

They come in colours;
all sizes will do,
you’ll find them in pink,
in yellow and blue...

Feathers are soft,
they are light to the touch;
Fill you with mushy feelings,
make you all gooey and such.

Feather’s can be beautiful
They are gentle gifts that you can share;
you can put them on your clothing,
or wear them in your hair.

You can hang them from a wind chime,
or a dreamcatcher above your head...
So you’ll rest and sleep so peacefully
with beautiful feathers that make up your bed.

You will lay your head ‘pon your pillow,
made of goose down so sighingly soft.
Sweet dreams, dear one, as above you adorns
a dreamcatcher filled with God’s love.
