The safest place

By

The gentle beating of a heart

Rushing air with every breath

These are the sounds I can hear

Asleep on daddy's chest

 

A small child, a few years old

How small and frail am I!

Of plagues and wars , of stress and bills

These worries, I know not

 

The softness of his sweater

The strength upon which I slept

This memory I'll have 'til I grow old

Me, sleeping on daddy's chest

    Plagues not Plaques. I knowI sound pedantic but that one missspelt word spoilt the flow for me … Otherwise it’s very sweet. 9/10

    It is lovely, but I often get stuck in logic (which dictates that baby doesn’t remember sleeping on daddy’s chest). I like it anyway!

      Thank you. It’s odd, but I do have this memory though I might have been closer to 3 yrs old, hard to say!

        Big difference between a few months and three years, but the sentiment remains the same. Lovely piece!
