You Hold Us

Loving smile
Forgives my trespasses
Like waves erase the trampled sand clean

Gentle hands
Calloused like the Birch tree
Glide across my soft trembling landscape

Eyes sparkle
Like stars held in my heart
They carry your words without falling

Steadfast heart
Deep as the universe
Hold us safe in evening glow
