One night
I heard his cry
The middle of the night
A little dazed, a little confused I go to him
I'm awake, he needs me
He's crying still
Gentle I caress his little head
"Mummy sleep with me"
I gently slide beside him on the bed
He puts his little arm around my neck
His eyes closed
His breathing evens out
Warm and gentle on my face
One night
He needs me
