~SANCTUARY~ If you fall helpless beneath the winds and rains of life, I will lift you up and be your shelter from the storm If you should find that you are lost all you need to do is turn around and take my hand, I will guide you home If your dreams fall shattered from your mind, I will kneel beside you to pick the pieces up from the floor and give them life again If you ever feel persecuted by the cold, bitter world, I shall wash the lonely tears from your face, and remove your crown of thorns, so that you shall only know joy, today and forevermore If you become blinded by the shadows of solitude, the light of my love will gently caress you to help you see that you are not alone, for, I am here for you If you long to hear a word that is true, just rest your weary head upon my breast and listen as my heart speaks of love for you If you ever need me, just call my name, for, I shall always be your sanctuary *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |
