"A Wife In The Comfort Of Love"

Her dark hair on a pillow
A wife sleeps peacefully
In the comfort of love.

Sunlight through a window
Casts pleasant shadows
Across bedroom walls.

Birds song outside
Serenades the morning
In sweet summer splendor.

A husband adjust his tie
Sees in dresser mirror
His wife's sleeping image.

Child runs through doorway
Jumps on the bed once still
Awakening the family angel.

Husband shakes his head
As his wife drowsily smiles
Pleasant intrusion of youth.

Kisses her child on forehead
'motherhood becomes her'
Thinks the beaming husband.

Shooing the child outside
The couple share a smile
Whisper their love tenderly.

Leaning into each other
They kiss lips so sweetly
This evidence of their love.

"Go back to sleep, darling"
He tells his lovely bride
Tucking her in once more.

Husband, lover, father
Looks back in admiration
Upon the woman he loves.

Seeing child off to school
He closes doors quietly
And goes out into the day.

Her dark hair on a pillow
A wife sleeps peacefully
In the comfort of love.
