Together: Sleeping

A long day of play outdoors, becomes a night to stay indoors. After prepping for bed, we're in it and it's soon lights off and hugs on. For I can't be near you and not hug you, hold you, touch you and thank you for being with, caring for and loving me -- just a man you've rescued from many lonely moments spread over years that have made towels wet with tears. Sleeping together brings more peace to my soul than you will ever know, so, please stay, I never want you to go not now, not ever. Let's just sleep in every kind of weather -- rainy with thunder with our eyes full of wonder or so clear and cold we'll snore till we're old. No matter what the night outside is like, inside, my arms will remain locked and warm around you in a forever hug until dawn. Please stay, don't leave, being with me always is what I have to believe. Sleeping together allows us to show all the forms of love our God wants us to know, not a shallow love but one very deep that will last for forever each day and night when again we get to sleep, love and heal from wounds that life inflicts on us in its own weary way.
