Bed of Petals

There it lay unseen by man
On a bed  of rose petals
Perfume wafting as on a fan
Dew shimmers as it settles.

Who or what, lies within
What secret does the petals  hide
Whats snuggled down in sleep
Its a leveret we will name "Abide"

Your mam was killed your all alone
Could see you were distressed
Knew you would be safe with me
Close to my petals pressed
 
Come little man no one to hurt you
Hidden  amongst the petals soft
"Abide" with me your safe from danger
Until your strength for life is crossed
