Open Arms

My heart accepts your apology,
And welcomes you home again.
The love I share is warmer than the sun,
And I too, forgive you of your sins.

These open arms receive you,
I’m ready for the making up to embark.
Clutching you to my chest, I wont’ ever let go,
For these arms are the extensions of my heart.

Wrapping you up the whole night through,
As I whisper in your ear how much I love you.

Wonderful submission for the contest, Raul! You describe a place we all long to be when there is tension in a relationship. This works if we look at it from the perspective of our Heavenly Father as well. Hugs! Donna
