Sleep and

Be peaceful

Still

Hold my heart

And hold my hand

Wrap me in your arms

And protect me from

The chill

Hold me now

And let me rest

Long into the night

And when I finally

Complete this test

Hold me in your arms

So tight

Make me feel real

And warm

And safe

Make me feel grace

And truth

Then look into my eyes

And let me tell you

How much I really

Truly

Do love you

Hold me, Dear

And keep me safe

In your arms

Forevermore

Hold me now

For in your arms

I feel protected

To the core

Hold me now

And squeeze me tight

Make me feel

Oh, so right

I love you, James.
