A gentle power,
Strength held in check
You cradle my heart in tender hands
A loving caress
Yet beneath the softness, steel
A double edged blade
Ready to fight, protect, defend
On guard, for me and from me
Safety lies within your walls
Cherished, accepted, embraced
Stripped naked before your gaze
And yet you see only beauty
Freedom, to be myself
To explore and grow, stretch
Truly alive, held aloft on strong hands
Ready to spread timid wings and fly
Here is where I build my home
Wanting only what you desire,
To spread your happiness around me like a cloak
Yet in your praise, I find my own strength.
A deep debt, too large to repay.
