Rest your weary head down upon my lap
Forget for a time all the cares away
Let me be your guide, your comforting map,
To the place where your soul will stay

The moon and stars have nothing on you
There is something about the wavelength shared
Which makes a light shine upon all you do
And sets yourself apart from all compare

Time and distance shall do their best to stay
The thoughts that travel from mind to mind
Forget for awhile travails of today
And let us now leave all of this behind

I shall hold you up, never to touch ground
To help you smile and lay your burden down

CG, this is so warm, caring, and comforting. Your words really spoke to me ~ especially at this time when I am in need of them. Burdens in life can become quite heavy at times. With someone like you as a friend, I'm sure it would help lessen the load on their shoulders.

Caring, compassionate, comforting... and crafted with perfection... the cadence is almost as beautiful as the content!! *S*
