All There Is

...and then there are times when you're just happy to be safe
wrapped in the place you can always call home
cradled in the bosom of love and acceptance

yes!

no matter where you've been, or how much dust
has collected on the soles of your feet
or how much care has worn down your heart

no matter how much anguish has stripped your soul bare
there are times when you need to lay your weary head
on a broad shoulder, and it doesn't matter if the tears fall
you can let them fall!

your hurt is felt, shared, and begins to mend

there is no question, or judgment
only comfort and understanding

there are just those times when that familiar smile,
the warm embrace, and kind words will soothe what ails

and all there is in this unforgiving world is that place
within a loving heart where you know you are secure
and the repayment is zero
