Hold Me In Your Arms

HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS

Hold me in your arms, Dear, with all the fervor of our lifetime together.
Snug and impervious, the world’s light snuffed out - ours aflame.
Into your strong shoulder, I lean. To your familiar scent I cleave.

Our bodies cling, in destiny, warm, sound of mind, bright of spirit.
Our trust and faith shown, embodied in perfect balance of embrace.

Hold me in your arms, Honey, all troubles dissolve at quicksand’s call.
Your eyes brighten my life, drawing me in. I sink - my knees are weak.
Passion calls. I know that certain spark in your eyes, reserved for me.

Our bodies cling, in destiny, warm, sound of mind, bright of spirit.
Our trust and faith shown, embodied in perfect balance of embrace.

Beloved, hold me in your arms - the ultimate solace from any despair.
Children care, parents delight, friends are fine, but I NEED you, when
The sun doesn’t shine, when pain is a shrine, all of the time. Hold me.

Thanks so much, Maureen! My hubby's so funny, has his glasses hanging on his shirt. I make him take them off, so I can get closer.
