Embrace me
Like a child
Make everything alright.
Let me feel
Your arms around me
Holding me tight
Your fingers at my brow
Wiping fear away
Embrace me
And all that I am
Embrace my origins
And all I will ever be
Like a child
Embrace me
With more than your arms
Comfort me
For just a little while
Then walk me ahead
Toward the future
And let me go
