Holding you

- 6 -

You are a
Soft toy
When I hold
Your hand.

As soft as
Your bubbly cheeks.
As small as
Your black reflective eyes.

You are a
Christmas tree at a fireplace
When seated next to you,
Holding your hand.

You warm my heart, my body.
The warmth flows
Through my veins,
Melting the ice formed in me.

Holding you
I feel at home.
Holding you
I feel secured.
Your grip on my palms
Are the locks of my heart.

Holding you
Forever and forever,
As river flows in you.
