Softly Into the Night

by Kaylee
(LaFaire)

Whimpers and grunts heard in the night
I stumbled to him, groggy, without sight

Offered his binky, he just shook his head,
Eyes shiny with tears with a hint of red

I scooped him up all warm in my arms,
just a tiny bundle, safe now from harm

No scary monsters, I've turned them away
Peaceful night now will soon turn to day

A silent thrill fills my heart overflowing
with love with this little start

The start of my life, living through his each day
cuddling all night, I wish this would stay
