In the Comfort of Darkness
As Anna gently lifts me into her arms at bedtime, I snuggle close, feeling her warmth and hearing her reassuring voice.
Being blind now, I rely on her more than ever, but her touch is a soft map of safety.
She tucks me in with care, blankets cocooning us snugly.
Her gentle belly rubs are like a soothing melody, lulling me into dreams of playful days gone by.
In those moments, drifting off to sleep, I feel her love surrounding me, a comforting embrace that tells me I'm home and cherished.
It's in these quiet hours that I know, even in darkness, Anna's love is my guiding light.
Blindness veils the world I knew,
Yet in her care, I feel no fear,
She wraps me close, her love so true,
Whispering softly, "I am here."
