Rest With Me

Lay your head upon my breast.. Today’s road was long and harsh Now evening shadows cross the hill. Rest awhile; breathe the night’s perfume. Tomorrow the journey begins again.. Life holds us fiercely in its grip. But tonight- put your burdens down, And gather strength within my arms.

A wonderfully soothing write, Barbara. I'm not surprised because it came from your loving heart. We all need someone who provides this type of comfort in our lives. Just beautiful! Love, Carolyn
