Hmmmmm...

It's pretty good, you show potential; since you're a new contributor, let me tell you what I saw. Consider the 4th stanza. Three times you say, "I love..." but it's a statement not imparting feeling.

"I love sleeping within your protective embrace" tells what you claim to feel, but little else - the feeling isn't imparted to the reader.

As an off the cuff suggestion, consider how different this feels:

"Sleeping within your warm, comforting embrace,

all the world's hard-edged troubles held at bay" imparts a feeling of protection (from a hard world) and a desire (warm, comforting) to be within the embrace.

Best wishes & good luck on your further writing.
