Cherish

Hand in hand
side by side
with utmost ease
we walked today
like many times before
my hand in yours
trusting yours
to keep me warm
to keep me safe
to keep me 
away from harm
ever so light
you brought my hand
to your lips
and bestowed a kiss
as if to say
yes I will
look after you
cherish you
with all my heart
