A love letter

Precious love

Where I will hold you close

And keep you safe

From the fire that scroches souls

From the water that chips at your spirit

But more than that

I will not suffocate you in my embrace

I will allow you to take flight

To fly high and soar

Remebering you were a gift

But only for a moment in time

To hold but not to keep

I was made strong

Not for glory or splendor

But to keep you safe

Precious love.
