PROTECTIVE EMBRACE

Heart to heart we are
Soul to soul you and I
Now so very true
Seeing beyond darkness
Into loving caring hues

All wrapped up in you
Your protective embrace
Relaxing in sweetness
Finding my way back
Again to such kindness

Reminded by your gentleness
Loving words fall from your lips
Amazing how you know to show
Someday again there will be bliss
Needing to see within all of this

Reality from illusions dance
Seeing clearly from sadness
Trying to not close up or away
Gently a friend's love shows me
The special gift of another day

Again the way inside
Stays open and free
You would not let me flee
Scared to let down and need
Somehow you see through
To find the best within me

Lessons to be learned
New horizons to embrace
Sadness takes its exit
All that I still am and can be
For now as it always has been
You envelop it fully so I can see
