Holding Tightly

I couldn’t laugh and let it go I held it tightly And shook it at the sky Until tears covered my face My voice was strained My soul deeply tired Questioning why Puzzling out motives Repeating the same situation and sentence Again and again Then I spoke with you Your hand covered half my face as you held it Speaking while I wept into your palm I’ve figured it out You can rest Let your mind be still Sleep It’s alright if you have to cry yourself there Just know I’m watching And while you’re sleeping And while your waking I’ll take care of today Yesterday’s sorted And tomorrow is new Live in peace I’ll contend and comfort
