SAFE AND SOUND

maybe threading through

broken glasses in barefoot

is painful



maybe falling off a tree

with head first landing the

ground is even more painful



but what is pain really?

what could be more painful

than to be away from you



you that



makes my days so bright

bathes me with so much delight

uplifts me in gracious height

and shelters me with pure might



oh! i guess you’ll never know how

painful it is that your not here with us

i shall cling to your promise of

come back—safe and sound
