Read
when I am tense
and can't fall to sleep
we snuggle up in bed
and you read to me
my head on your shoulder
like when I was a child
your arm around me tight
leaving me beguiled
the sound of your voice
resonating in your chest
a safe and warm feeling
with you I'm truly blessed
like my mother did
checking if I sleep
even if I am
you continue reading
it's times like this
that I love you most
protected, warm and loved
while you hold me close
