Companionship

I will watch over you
To protect you from all harm
You will never have to fear
What lies there grinning in the dark
You will sleep soundly as I stand guard
Surrounding you with comforting awareness
Dancing and swirling in your soothing dreams
Your mind saturated in lovely things
And as darkness scours the earth around you
I will sing you songs of hope
Praising you for holding on
When all else seems to fail
When all freedom falls
Entrusted companionship will give us permission
To forgivingly prevail

Ah, I need you as my angel to watch over me. This one is touching. If only my angel understood me! Love it. Your so good. ~Kilmer PS. Your avatar clearly shows someone playing guitar. Is that you? I play guitar as well. It really helps with rhythm and writing.

Could be a lullaby for a child or a love song for someone special. Either way you capture the moment beautifully. Loved it Laura! :) Lizzie
