I'm just filled with warm fuzzies today.

When the lies and pain
of misconceptions and greed
are too much to bear,
close your eyes and I'll be there -
behind your soft lids, behind
hazel-green orbs of sadness.
Feel me beside you.
I hold you in your sleep, and
cradle you as you dream. 

When the weight of emptiness
from broken dreams
and false feelings
are more than you can stand,
hear me whisper in your ear:
"you're a wonder to behold,
a precious star among men." 
Feel me there beside you
as I hold your hand.

When you wrap the music
around your ears,
blocking out a world of pain
and harsh words, hear me
as I sing your praises
in hushed tones.
Feel my arms surround you
and hold you close.

When you've finally had the last
of the darkness, and
your fill of hurt
and betrayal,
Know that I'll be there
to carry you home.

Um...I don't know.

I already have a When, so I changed the title to Home.

being there, unconditionally; something we all hope we'll have in our life. Powerfully put

I truly believe that if we have just one person in our life to be just what you've shared so eloquently, then we can face anything... Your words are a lifting life of devotion.

ah very powerful! unconditional love indeed, a very sweet and tender write, but always realistic and emotion based!! nice!

There is nothing more important than the support of someone trusted when times get tough, and this was a great tribute to that kind of person who, no matter how tough things get, they will be there to pick up the pieces. Some of us are more often the crumblers and some of us are more often the rock.....you are a rock I think.

Soft warm fuzzies are good. Unconditional love, and tenderness shine through; nicely compared to those things that are not. Your words are like being wrapped in a cozy blanket. Nice!

Very sweet piece-- you might consider adding in some more imagery, but the pure and simple emotion is quite nice as it is too.
Definitely warm fuzzies. :)
Great job.
