In quiet rooms where whispers soften the air,
I tend the heartbeat like a flute of dawn,
Stitching the hours with patient, grateful care,
Until her courage finds the light that’s drawn.
Her breath, a tender tempo, slow and true,
Becomes my compass when the world grows gray.
I cradle mornings with a hands-on view
Of every ache that shadows her sweet day.
I map the syllables of her tired sighs
For lullabies that ease the fevered night.
With gentle hands, I mend the weathered skies,
And turn her fevered storms to gentler light.
I speak in prayers of bravery and grace,
In every glance a vow of steadfast stay.
To be the harbor where her woes erase,
To guard her smile till healing finds its way.
If illness threads its length across her skin,
I keep the fire of our hope alive.
For in her warmth, my truest life begins—
A love that sings while faithful hearts survive.
So let the world outside grow loud and cold;
Within these walls, our quiet courage thrives.
I am the shelter where her hands can hold
The strength to rise again, and love that never dies.
