We had a huge royal bed like this…

 

We had a huge bed like this

In our house

Maybe from the 1930s

Or the early 1940s

A rarity nowadays

On which we as kids

Played many games

Studied on it

Completed our home-works

And slept peacefully on it at nights

Sometimes even in the afternoons.

Its amazing elevation

Protected us

From the crawling insects

Which are common in rural areas

Adjacent to the forests.

It was precious to us kids

Like the throne is to the kings

However, we gave it away in 1976

As we moved away to the City…

I regret that we could not take it with us

And I regret that we have no photographs of it.
