Softness

The cradle of a person holding you tight
Is a precious softness to shelter you from the night
With arms that guard and bodies that weld
This is the softness you have when your held

The smile of innocence on a young face
Takes you too a once remembered place
Of memories so sweet there stored in your mind
This is the softness you have for mankind

The feeling of the weather, kissing your skin
Touching your sense deep inside and deep within
Reminding you have a place in this world
This is the softness that nature unfurled

The feelings I have for you my dear friend
Are there for ever, and I wont pretend
When the rough of the world chaffes at my soul
This is the softness that makes me whole
