In your arms.

  • NB: I wrote this for Laura, a poem about when shes holding baby trent, her grandson. 🙂

    In your arms.

    This world around me is so large
    It is a scary place
    I am so small and vulnerable
    Only just learning my place.

    Yet in your arms that has changed
    All the worries and fears are gone
    Its as if its another dimension
    Where only you and I belong

    With those worries, those fears lost
    The need to understand is gone
    and all I need in these moments
    Is just your warm soft hugs.

    Please don’t let me grow so fast
    That I let these moments pass
    For its these times that never die
    And will make me strong to face my life.
