Embrace

In my arms, my child

Close thy eyes

In my arms, dear child

Find thy rest

For no matter how the beasts may howl

Or how their teeth may glisten sharp

They'll not harm you, child

In my arms

Darkness wanes, my child

At daybreak

Darkness wanes, dear child

For 'tis time

And shadows crawl away toward the west

As by love the blue skies are warmed

And thou hast hope, my child

In my arms

As you live, my child

Keep thy heart

As you live, dear child

Have no fear

Never without me will you walk

And I shall bear you if you fall

Take heart and strength, child

In my arms

Faith thy eyes, my child

And grace thy steps

Faith thy eyes, dear child

Steady stride

For thy faith will be a stepping stone

For future children yet to come

They too are safe, child

In my arms

Author's Note

This is actually a song written for a fantasy story I'm working on, but it works just as well as a poem, I think. Enjoy!

Oh wow, xD I thought it would be a great song and it is meant to be a song, very beautiful. I'm interested now what the fantasy story will be about. I think you did a great job writing this, it has a peaceful and safe tone to this ^^ I can see someone holding a child close to them while singing this.

Great Job
