Two Strong Arms




BY CAROLE NICHOLS

When I am so tired at the end of the day,
I want two strong arms to take my cares away.

When I'm not quite myself, or just feeling blue,
I want those same arms to offer comfort, too.

When I awaken, so afraid in the night,
I want them to hold me and ease my fright.

When I feel alone, without a friend,
On those strong arms I want to depend.

When I feel wary and so unsure,
I want warm arms to make me feel secure.

I want those arms to take me to paradise,
And for that, alone, it's worth the price;

To open up my heart once more;
To let those arms carry me through love's door.

Yet greater than all of passion's charms,
Is just to be held by two strong arms.
