I Will Hold You

I hold you close and feel you shiver,
But I wonder if I deliver
All the love and affection
That you need for your attention.

You cry,
You try,
You just can’t think,
So I will stay by you till you wink.

You sink into the bed and fall asleep,
But I will stay by your side till your sleep is deep,
And your dreams create a world of happiness
Apart from all the world and its sadness.

You wake and I am watching you
Because you seem so cute, yes you do,
So forever I will wait for you to rouse
Even if it takes tomorrow
Or I have to spend the rest of my life in your house.
