Don’t cry Abraham don’t cry###
I will hold you up, embrace you,###
Keep you safe from wind and snow###
I saw you moving###
Albeit slow###
Heading for the undertow.###
Explore and ponder###
Feel free to see###
But do it safely next to me.###
I’m solid,###
Grounded,###
I know you’re too###
But my stanchions brace and can embrace you.###
Think about your myriad thoughts###
And choose me as your place,###
Rest your head upon my chest###
I’ll hold and keep you safe.###
