Stay with Me Poem

A moment

Of closeness

Connection

Don’t go

A cuddle

A snuggle

Distraction

Don’t go

Comfort

Warmth

Belonging

Please

Stay here with me

Inside jokes

Precious memories

Treasured, intimate

Don’t go

Shared history

Deep knowing

Called away

Don’t go

Safety

Security

Protection

Please

Stay here with me

The hours

Of refuge

Deep sleep

Don’t go

Warm sheets

Cool breeze

Alarm

Don’t go

Relaxed

Refreshed

Renewed

Please

Stay here with me

Open day

Easy rhythm

Gentle sway

Don’t go

Busy schedule

Responsibility

Shift in focus

Don’t go

Upended

Uprooted

Unsteady

Please

Stay here with me
