When You Hold Me

When you hold me I am
being told by you that
I am loved.

When you hold me 
you are saying I am
safe from the bitter cold.

When you hold me I am 
assured by you that no
harm will come to me.

When you hold me I 
feel so free like a 
bird from its cage.

When you hold me
I feel at peace no matter
how chaotic the world is.
