The Lightest Burden

Carried them home, small body tucked close,

a peaceful slumber amidst chaos, like prose.

Breath on my neck, a soft, rhythmic song,

this warmth is the answer where I feel I belong.


Wrapped in my arms, the world fades away,

a small miracle resting, keeping darkness at bay.

No weight can compare to this love, so profound,

the quietest moment, where my heart’s truly found.
