As You Sleep

* * *

I love the feel of your baby soft skin

As I outline it with my hands

The warmth of your body

As I embrace it ever so close to mine

The sweet smell of your hair

As I bury my face in it

I love the way your warm feet

Reach out to mine

Making sure they are close by

I love listening to your peaceful breathing

Telling me you are sleeping contently

I love looking into your angelic face

And fall even more in love with you

I love going through this same ritual

Night after night

As you sleep
