Safe

Safe

A baby in her mother's arms
Safe in her ignorance, innocence
A child in her father's lap
Safe in the blanket of knowledge, wisdom
A young girl talking to friends
Safe in sympathy, in comfort, in understanding
A teenage girl in her own skin
Safe from peer pressure, poison
A young woman in her boyfriend's arms
Safe in a moment, in innocent love
A woman in her wedding dress
Safe from time, from age, from loneliness
A mother with her children close
Safe in her confident protection
A parent letting her children go
Safe in her own accomplishment
An old woman in bed next to her love
Safe in satisfaction, safe from death
