The Comfort of an Embrace Take my lonely hands into yours And as our touch unite, watch the butterfly pass by Hold my pain for a few minutes, till my tears run dry And as I feel better, watch the bufferfly touch the flower My knees ache from the pleading, pick me up into your arms And as we stand together, watch the rainbow emerge Hold my beaten heart close to yours, let reality converge And as I can stand alone again, watch the rainbow touch the butterfly The comfort of an embrace raises hopes dashed in solitude's mire Knowing the warmth exists from a soul as genuine as you are Reinforces that life's light so dim can be brightened again For wherever butterflies and rainbows meet a heart once broken The comfort of an embrace is the flower they produce It is peacefullness you thrust into my soul Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

This is just so beautiful. I'm almost speechless. So tender and lovely If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Beautiful imagery. I especially liked the ending: "For wherever butterflies and rainbows meet a heart once broken The comfort of an embrace is the flower they produce It is peacefullness you thrust into my soul" |
