My Love

Laying In Bed Beside Me

Laying in bed at 4 am Hailstones pelting my window frame Awakened from a nightmare I turn over, and you are there

Sleeping soundly beside me Your snores make me smile I would never tell you of your night-time Sounds One of my few white lies

Your body heat and sleeping smile Drive the demons away, That often keeps me up all night When you are not around

I love you for your loving ways And your caring innate spirit Your beauty and you’re loving eyes Make my life worthwhile

As the storm rages outside And my nightmares take hold When they awake me one more night My fears you easily dissipate

To spoon and hug you, my sweet love Your beauty and your poise To awake after a great nights sleep With you my life’s great joy.
