Hush now.

I don't mean to startle you
so, I whisper softly,
as I crawl slowly into you lap.
Then, with gentle finger tips
I close your eyes,
and drag the soft pads
of my fingers over your face.
I trace the outline of your mouth
the shadows under your eyes,
the indentation of your chin.
I kiss you with tenderness.
I sooth you.
"Hush now..."
