What I'm Reading #'s 57 thru 59

Book Monday!
 This one I ordered for myself.

These two were gifts from a friend!

From "Dog Songs" by Mary Oliver.

EVERY DOG'S STORY

I have a bed, my very own.
It's just my size.
And sometimes I like to sleep alone
with dreams inside my eyes.

But sometimes dreams are dark and wild and creepy
and I wake and am afraid, though I don't know why.
But I'm no longer sleepy
and too slowly the hours go by.

So I climb on the bed where the light of the moon
is shining in you face
and I know it will be morning soon.

Everybody needs a safe place.

~ Mary Oliver, 1935 -
