I reached for you once -

And you were there,

Just like you said

You always would be.

Your words became mine,

Wrapped in your softness.

You offered them to me

With gentle hands.

I took them, and smiled,

Held them tighter

Than anything that has

Ever been in my grasp.

Now they're safe,

Locked in a place

Where only angels sleep

And sunshine warms my heart.
