The 3am Secret

The 3am secret.
As the world sleeps and the streets are dark,
we share a secret that is only ours.
It starts with a stir in a crib nearby,
I move quickly before the stir turns to a cry.
I hold her close, my skin is still warm,
Her body relaxes and she turns towards.
Her mouth opens wide and I pull her onto my breast
two hearts together, chest to chest.
As she suckles and feeds, her eyes meet mine,
Trust, security, a secret moment in time.
Forget the yawns, the sticky eyes, no sleep.
This moment, this secret is mine to keep.
