Holding Hands

I woke shortly after midnight.

Eilidh was grumbling,

Uncomfortable in her bed.

I needed to go to her

My hand was in David's,

Hidden under the pillows.

For a moment I was invincible -

But I had to let go.

I went through to her,

Turning her body

As she slumbered on

And kissed her sweet face.

Then back to bed:

To warmth and security,

To my husband

Who gives me strength...
