YOUR ARMS

Your arms ....
There is a place that feels like home
From which I'd never want to roam ....
Your arms.

They circle me and still my heart
When fearful things give me a start ....
So strong and yet so gentle too
When holding me so close to you ....
Your arms.

And when you hold me face to face,
Our bodies join .. our eyes embrace
I feel there is no other place ....
My world becomes a wondrous space ....
Your arms.

I'll stay there til you tell me 'no'
And then I know I'll have to go ....
But I am sure I still will feel
Your touch .. your comfort .. oh, so real ....
Your arms.
