My Pillow

Friends
We talk about many things in life but rarely appreciate the contribution of a pillow. A pillow which is different from the show cased pillow(in matching cover, thick, fatty which one can not use in night). Pillow is something about which we talk least. A comfortable pillow can be a blessing for us. My pillow is too slim about 2" thick and 20"long. Pillow is a silent supporter to us through out the life, although we don't appreciate it's contribution. When I was born, my mother would have kept me in her lap but soon was put to pillow. Pillow didn't complain whenever I left it, may be in childhood when pillow was giving me rest and some one took me in lap or when I became adult and put my head in the lap of wife or when due to work pressure I put my head on reclining chair. I avoided it many times and didn't care much when not neeed. But whenever I needed, it was there for me always with same affection as it was since beginning of life. This is the pillow which knows all my secrets. It witnessed all my dreams whether while sleeping or when pretending to sleep. It took in the arms when I dreamt, cried, happy or sad. Whenever there was tension in life it was this pillow which provided the shelter, calmed me and showed the way to move further. This is the pillow only which never got its light in the day because for the day time real pillow was pushed under the bed and replaced by another dummy pillow set which was big, fat and good looking with matching colors of bed sheet. This dummy pillow was to show the world because the real pillow is neither good looking nor fat nor in good cover.World would never appreciate this pillow, may be my status would adversely affect if I show this pillow. I am selfish and hence would never let the world know my real pillow but when ever I need it, I took its shelter. I never thought about this self less pillow, which never expected any favour from me as if it knew my nature. From the bottom of my heart I loved this pillow but due to fear never brought it on the bed in day time. Fact is, this pillow is my best friend during all the colors of my life. I wet it many times late in light, made it oily after hair massage, crushed in anger, threw it when had headache but it was its' greatness which never complained and gave its best. This pillow is committed for life time to help me, support me and care me.

Friends in our life there are one or two such persons who are our real pillows, giving us due care, comfort, love, affection and support when ever we need . They don't expect any thing in return and we don't appreciate in public too. Such pillows are invaluable and can not be valued. They know every thing about us but I am sure would never be appreciated or liked by all. This is not their fault but definitely ours. Let us find out our pillow and appreciate them.
