~Protecting His Own ~
He took me in His arms- held me close one day,
I knew within my heart that He was here to stay,
Through storms He would protect me shelter me from rain,
and wipe away the tears I cried, from years of built up pain,
I knew somehow he loved me,could see it in His eyes,
Could feel his presence deep within with every said goodbye,
Memories of the words He used,When teaching something new,
 The love and faith I had in Him constantly it grew, 
He kept me close within His reach so I'd be safe and warm,
Protecting me from all the bad- protecting me from harm,
His face it held a radiance, revealing all His ways,
Exposing so much beauty He brightened all my days,
In His eyes was such Great Depth,that went beyond His years,
His smile so much like fire-could melt away my fears,
From my lips I cried outloud, nothing felt the same,
Before me stood My Master
the Name above all Names.
