To Wake Beside You

oh, hi! I'm Jennie.

Like many creatives, The Redhead Notes is a passion I pursue in my free time. However, the job that pays the bills is working as a pediatric speech-language pathologist. I help little ones find their voices in my day-to-day work, whether through spoken word, sign language, or even speech-generating devices. But, at the end of the day, everything I love focuses on communicating ideas in one form or another.

Oh love, to wake beside you
against the morning light!
To see its rays upon you
engulfs me in delight.

I spend the morning listening
to every breath you take.
And whisper, soft, those vows of love
that only lovers make.

Despite the night’s cold frankness,
I’m warmly quite aware,
that peace, at last, lives in my heart
for my reaching finds you there.

I lean and touch you softly,
not to wake you before time.
But long to take you in my arms,
convincing me you’re mine.

If I be but a pauper,
I’d still be rich, you’d see.
For I have you to wake beside,
and no greater wealth can be.
