Silken skin
Softer than a dream
Delicately smooth
As I run the back of my fingers
Up her arm
Across her neck
Tenderly pressing my lips
Against her blushing cheek
A gentle smile
Creases her the corners of her eyes
She lays her head into my chest
I hum a low tune
Softly murmured words of love
Glide across a sea of enchantment
The children burst in
Full of energy
Abruptly halting, staring
Ruddy faces grinning
Giggly voices loudly proclaim
“Mommy & Daddy are in Love!”
