Rock me to sleep
in the comfort of your whisper
hold me close
like your long forgotton teddy bear
kiss me in the shadow of our memory
tell the moon that you love me
every night under starry skies
for soon the dark clouds will disapear
and we finally realize
we were only as far
as our hearts.

"Rock me to sleep
in the comfort of your whisper"

So provocative....sounds so secure, like a blanket of protection.  

I love this. Thank you.

nicely done..the lines Susan picked I think the strongest..but it all is softly romantic and comforting in some ways..

Brad,

This is wonderful. Yes, I like what was quoted, too. But my favorite is the last three lines and so true in so many ways.

Really enjoyed this, Thanks, Pat

Hi, Brad,

have you read your poem in Chinese. You can go to "View" on your computer first, and then go to "Encoding". You can read it when you select "Chinese Simplified (GB)".
