In His Arms

Lying here in his arms I feel safe

Enveloped in his strength

While I am held in wonder

He sleeps

I marvel at our differences

And all the ways we are the same

He does not have to do much

To make me feel protected

A hand on my hip as we sleep

A call on my phone when I’m running behind

He is my man

I am his woman

For us it is that simple

When the day is too long

When the road is too rough

I close my eyes

And lie in his arms for a moment

There is no other place I would rather be

Than in his arms as we drift to sleep
