Sick Days


temperatures and Tylenol
raspy coughs and teary, bleary eyes
dimmed lights and sleepless nights
anxious sighs and lullaby's
hugging arms that wish to take the hurt away

PBS Kids mornings and Disney movie afternoons
story books and cozy blankets
cooling baths and warm, steamy showers
more liquids and less dinner
extra prayers and teddy bears
thankful hearts when ails depart


These are what sick days are made of.
