Reassurance

At night I close my eyes
Though they are full of tears
I see your gorgeous face
Which helps to calm my fears.

I try to understand
Why this is how things are
But deep inside I’m scared
Afraid it will go too far.

I fear you won’t come home
Home means back here to me
With me is where you belong
You know we are meant to be.

I need your reassurance
As often as can be
That you will be home soon
With little Duffy and me.
