You whimper a little in your sleep,
I watch you from the kitchen,
you’re asleep but not at peace tonight
I lay down beside you,
put my arms around you
and pull you close.
Your breathing slows down again
your body relaxes
my job here is done.
I kiss you goodnight again
and tip toe out of your room
I’m here for you
24/7
ready to do it all over again
