Complete

...for Juvie I am safe when you are near, like a baby nestled in his mother's arms. I can breathe without gasping and speak without stammering, my embarrassment fades in the glow of your smile. I need no safety net. There is no pretense, no prevarication, your closeness brings a feeling of well-being. Dancing with the lights low and kissing in the street, holding you so tight and hoping that you'll never let me go I feel complete.

We go from mother to wife for only reason ... and that rules out the common proclamation ... we are children of love at every stage of life ... love is the only comfort we trust ... I love the tenderness of this one.

A beautiful description of the comfort we feel in the presence of someone we love deeply. It's just how I felt when I was with my late husband. Now even the memories can recall the security of "a baby nestled in his mother's arms." Very tender and heartfelt poem! Love, Carolyn
