Night Time Protector

In the darkness of the growing night
I bask in the bright warmth of your light
Lying down to a comfortable rest
Your head a happy weight on my chest
I drift from the sparking joy of your smile
And soak weary feet in dreams for a while

In the ink black hours my eye flutter wide
Only your silken touch makes the fear subside
And bringing my heart from gallop to trot
Turning a night’s terrors to memories forgot
Keeping my night safe you are turning the tide
An ever warm presence as you curl at my side

When the morning light creeps over the room
Slowly I awake to your sweet perfume
Your arms encircle my slumbering form
Keeping me safe through the night time storm
I can never express this deep joy inside
But of my love for you I can confide
