Gently
Softly
In the tenderest embrace

Are we held

Firmly
Strongly

Yet, not so firm
Not so strong
That we are not free

To move about
To play
To explore

We are held

From before time
Then beyond time
And within time
Within Love
Extending "out" as Love

Are we held

So when there comes a tear
Or a time when all we feel is alone
Let us read encouraging words
Let us speak with encouraging people
Let us be quiet
So we may know our dynamic still

And as we listen
We will see and hear and feel
That...

We are held
