RAPTURE OF TENDERNESS

Gather me in your protective embrace
Love me through the fear and anxiety
Show me how you really feel in time
Hold me tight throughout this night

Gently touch my heart and soul
Tell me how you want to love me
Lovingly envelop me within your eyes
Let the walls come down all around

Find me even when I try to hide
See what is real so deep inside
Grace me with your experiences
Show me the pattern of your heart

Let me drink from your love
Shower me with your kindness
Sense my need as I do yours
Fulfill the desire of this longing

Feel the rapture of tenderness
Bliss washing over us both now
Our time to find our time to fly
Cradled within the safety of us

Blending softness into the hours
Surrounded by our sweet warmth
Spent so lovingly tucked away
We celebrate our perfect day
