Safe

 Safe 

 

it is the thing we all desire

safety for ourselves

and for those we love

 

yet….where is it safe?

under the desk or table

and safe from what?

 

I think we would like to be safe

at the end of the day

we will return home

without worry or strife

 

or is it safety in relationship?

you will care for me

as I care for you

protect you from harm

 

there is much to fear 

In this life

will bombs explode?

as we lie down to rest

 

you can never be sure

so we will take what safety

we can

 

live in the sunshine

feed the chickens

pet the dog

and snuggle the cat

 

that is enough
