Another Precious Day

The rise and fall scarce audible
inform me that you’re here.
A comfort washes over me
allaying certain fears.
For though I like my quiet time,
eschewing all the noise,
a room devoid of breathing sounds
is one I’ll not enjoy. 
So sleep my darling, slumber on
and I will watch and pray
and thank our Father for  his gift:
another precious day.
