WHISPER

I whisper in your ear, "I'm scared"

You look at me and turn your head to the side.

I lean down again and try the other ear, "I said, I'm scared"

You place your nose on my hand and look up at me.

For just one minute, there is no fear in me.

I hold this minute deep inside my chest.

I place the feeling safely away to use later .

To return to it at any time for comfort.

I whisper in your ear, "Thank you"

You rise up and with your brown eyes plead back, "Great now where is my biscuit?"
