Last night
Was hard
Feelings I never
Knew I had
Came crashing in
All around
I sat in my bed
A silent prayer
In my head
Love & affection
A night torn with
Confession
I laid down
Thinking God had
Much better things
To tend to
Then my own
Sorry, sorrowful feelings
2 hours had passed
I heard his footsteps
Felt his little hand
Lightly tap my leg
He climbed up
Resting his head on my pillow
His arm wrapping around mine
Love's tender vine
I counted our breaths
Until they rhythmically
Reached a calming
Unison
My love and affection
Never far in the reaching
My toddler's soft hair
His musical sigh
Sorrow left in an instant
I
The student
My son
Teaching
Comforting
Holding me
Through the night.
