Perhaps In My Arms

·

Perhaps in my arms
The bravery that has eluded
You in your sworn solitude
Will swell with fortitude.

Perhaps in my arms
Where you fit so perfectly
Wrapped in warmth and safe
You may find again your faith.

Perhaps in my arms
You will let me support you
To stand and to be brave
At last, for yourself to save.

Perhaps in my arms
You will know the meaning of love
Deep, true, the meaning of peace--
And there, know the power of release.
