Room for two
The kettle sings, the daylight goes, The window gathers evening’s rose. Whatever weather wanders through, My favorite room has room for two.

Moon pockets
The moon has pockets full of light, She shakes them gently through the night. One finds your pillow, soft and deep— A little star to keep your sleep.
Bedtime · Peaceful
A place beside you
Some roads are long, some hills are steep, Some worries won’t lie down to sleep. But when the going feels brand-new, There’s always room beside me, too.
Friendship · Warm
Rain on the sill
The rain is tapping on the sill, The busy street grows soft and still. I let the hurried morning go, And sip my tea a little slow.
Everyday · Peaceful
Try again tomorrow
A tangled thread, a crooked seam, A day that didn’t match the dream. Lay down the work, let evening stay— Tomorrow brings another way.
Encouragement · Hopeful
Birthday confetti
A wish, a laugh, a slice of cake, A happy little fuss to make. No grand parade is needed here— Just you, and people glad you’re near.
Birthday · Playful
You remembered
You thought of me when skies were gray, And tucked some sunshine in my day. A note, a call, a gentle cue— The world felt kinder thanks to you.
Thank you · Tender
Ordinary magic
No castle door, no golden key, Just toast and you across from me. Some magic wears an everyday face— And makes a kitchen feel like grace.
Love · Warm
The sleepy harbor
The little boats are tucked in tight, Their painted noses kiss goodnight. The harbor hums a sleepy tune, And rocks them gently with the moon.
Bedtime · Peaceful
The blanket train
The blanket train rolls down the track, With dreams up front and worries back. The pillow station’s just in sight— All sleepy passengers, goodnight.
Bedtime · Playful
The patient seed
A patient seed beneath the snow Has quiet things it needs to grow. You needn’t bloom before you’re through— The waiting is a season, too.
Encouragement · Hopeful
Borrowed sunshine
When all my skies forgot their blue, I borrowed sunshine, friend, from you. And if your clouds should gather, too, I’ll save a little light for you.
