Cradle Me

Hold me. Comfort me. Keep me warm.
Shelter me. Protect me from the storm.
Rock me slowly from side to side.
Be the place where I can hide.

Be my refuge, my harbor, my escape.
My place of silence and solace. My keep.
Be my consolation, expel my fears.
Soothe my sorrows and dry my tears.

Cushion my weary head at night,
Rest my mind till morning light.
Awaken me with a gentle sway,
So I might begin another day.

Be my retreat, my fortress, my den.
A sanctuary of peace and grace,
Be for me now, what you were then.
A treasure, a prize, my special place.
