Snuggling tightly,
sweet cherub girl
scoots up higher
and turns to rest her chin
on her mommy’s forehead.
Little arms encircle
her mother’s neck.
The engulfing embrace proclaiming
that mommy belongs to her at bedtime.
There’s no breaking free
until her arms release
like angel’s wings
that fly her
to slumber on that restful cloud
of knowing she loves and is loved.
An embrace to be savored,
A feeling to remember,
A love to draw upon.
