Beautiful

The beauty of the stars
Shining brightly
Without the impediment
Of city lights and sounds
Pales next to the beauty
Of the one I hold in my arms
Her head resting comfortably on my chest
My arms wrapped tightly around her
Protecting, securing, holding
Face alight with
Child-like wonder
Eyes shining with enthusiasm for life
We hold each other
Til seet sleep comes
To carry us
To the world of dreams
