Grateful for a Cuddle

I am grateful for a cuddle, to snuggle skin to skin. I too have fears. I too sometimes feel alone. I too need to hear that it’s going to be okay; that I am going to be okay. And with a cuddle, I find that shelter and strength.

There is a precious tenderness between our bodies. Leg around leg, toe-to-toe, hand-in-hand. We embrace. I don’t want to let go. It’s simple yet so sublime. I am lucky to share this bed of mine.

I am grateful for a cuddle.
