In Your Arms: A Tribute to a Friend

ageminiwoman.wordpress.com

In your arms, I find myself

When I’m old
When I’m weak
When I faint

You hold me
You cradle me
You carry me

Through the twilight of my life
And even until the end
I am you
You are my comfort….

For my friend Mary and her Father Ernie
