Wrap me securely
in afternoon blues-
Only not too tight

A white cottony cloud
gently cradled by
powder blue skies

A newborn baby
swaddled in a
handsewn blanket

Wrap me securely
in afternoon blues-
Only not too tight

Ease the weight
of my fears, as
teardrops freely fall

Bring peace that
lasts through the
deepest midnight

Wrap me securely
in afternoon blues-
Only not too tight
