i will be safe for you.

battered woman,
defenses wild,
the fragile girl, the
wounded child,
let all your fears
be reconciled,
i will be safe for you.


in dead of night or
heat of day,
when hope and heart
were led astray,
when friend and faith have
looked away,
i will be safe for you.


when words fall short and
tears run dry,
when silence is
your only fight,
when darkness now
drowns out the light,
i will be safe for you.


take comfort in
the candle warm,
take solace in the
scars well-worn,
take courage, you
are not alone,
i will be safe for you.
