Your Love, So Pure, So True...

In the still of the night

I hear your footsteps,

They’re edging nearer.

I turn over in my bed

And face the door.

There you stand -

Your teddy in your arms,

Your face full of fear.

 

“Can I sleep with you, Mommy?”

You ask, inching towards my bed.

I open up the cover

And watch as you climb in beside me.

 

The warmth of your body is comforting;

The sound of your breathing, calming.

I run my fingers through your hair

And wonder what my life would be like

Without you in it.

And I realise, that I never want to know.

I want you to be by my side

Until the end of time.

 

I watch as you drift off to sleep,

Your face as pure and innocent

As an angel,

And I think about all the hardships

We have had to endure,

And I hope that you realise

Just how much I love you.

I hope that you will forgive me

For all the wrong I’ve done.

And I really hope

That you love me too,

Because a love

As pure as what you give,

Is better than that

Of any man in the world!
