Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Home Is When I'm With You

We have our routine to perfection
Our way of saying I love you and 
Wouldn’t want to live without you
We’re a strong solid team you and I
We are going to make it through this

Home is when I’m with you

The incessant flow of aches and pains
All those appointments and treatments
We don’t blow things out of proportion
Or make a fuss about how things used to be
We’ve moved on taking it one day at a time

Home is when I’m with you

Now when my arms wrap around you 
Softly resting your head on the pillow
We simultaneously raise your legs
Gentle as a ballet that’s well rehearsed
Swiveling you comfortably in bed to rest

Home is when I’m with you

I bundle you in warm cozy blankets
Cuddle up with whispers well into the night
Pressed one against the other
Caressing the nook of your neck
Spooning you till one of us falls asleep

Home is when I’m with you
