Two arms
The world swirls with terror.
Uncertainty is the only certainty.
I want to get off the merry-go-round.
Money isn't plenty.
Food isn't guaranteed.
There's sickness.
There's sorrow.
We fear tomorrow.

Then there are her arms,
a magical protective field.
Nothing matters except her and I.
There is love, joy, peace, if only for a moment,
one perfect moment.
