Side by Side
1998
Bosom buddies in a pillowed nest,
Snuggle safe and warm, side by side;
Bathed and fed and ready for bed,
With giggles and whispers to confide.
Flannel-wrapped and satin-trimmed,
To keep them nice and cozy,
With shiny hair so clean and fresh,
Their skin glows soft and rosy.
Sharing a favorite picture book,
Until both become sleepy-eyed,
Near or apart, within each heart,
Best friends forever….side by side.
