Favorite Blanket
Love
Is like
A favorite blanket,
Wrapping around you
When you need it most.
Wrapped up in a
Blanket of love~
It keeps you warm
When you’re cold,
Like a favorite blanket,
Like a lover’s embrace.
It makes your heart swell
With affection and care,
A favorite blanket
Full of love to share.
A feeling of warmth,
Nostalgia and glee,
Like a soft blanket,
Love from you to me.
Love’s embrace is warm,
Wrapped tight around your heart,
A favorite blanket’s hug is warm,
Wrapped tight around you and me.
Here to hold you,
Not to hurt you…
Here to love,
Never to hate…
Here to give warmth,
Never to freeze…
Our love is like
A favorite blanket,
Something that will
Warm us,
Hold us,
Cherish us
In the darkest of times.
