WITHIN UNSTEADY ARMS

WITHIN UNSTEADY ARMS 

We cradle life
In our 
Unsteady arms...
Unsteady from tiredness
From hurt and 
Loneliness...

We cradle life and
Watch it grow
Entraced, we wonder
How time
Flows!

With each breath
To life, hope we p
Try to give
Cradling gently 
Precariously 
As we live...

For the world 
Is nasty
Forcing our hand
In doing it's will...

It's tough
Yet we do our best...

We cradle life
Not just the now
Born
But our own
And that of
Our beloved's one...

Life, yes precious life
Stay close to
The heart that loves
And within the
Arms that
Unsteadily cradle you
Yet not once
Letting you l

Fall
Therein remain...!

WHAT WE FEAR

WHAT WE FEAR

It's in our
Hearts...
Lurking in the corners
Of our souls...

It's a feeling 
Strong
That only love 
Can overturn!

For, love is joy
Laughter and smiles 
It is the exact
Opposite of what 
Lurks quiet
In the dark recesses
Of our minds...

We fear, fear
And it takes 
Control 
Oh if only
We all knew
That 
Love is 
So much more powerful...!
