Safe Haven

Long warm wrap-around arms Keep me close, far from harm, Strong steady confident hand Holds mine tight, you understand Cold, dark, gloomy nights Fear of facing wintry tides. Loving, warm, soft-smiling eyes Lighten darkness, brighten life, Soft, silent, passionate lips Soothe the pain of past regrets That started slow with petty storms Lingering on from dusk to dawn. Caring, wise, sensitive self Helps me grow from weak to well, Yet, I know deep inside You can only be a guide Who helps me face the tempest times That I'll surmount and leave behind.
