I've surrendered
I'm surrrounded
by tiny, soft, hands
ruthless in their tenderness
and relentless in their neediness
I've ran out of steam,
of personal space
and dreams
but filled up with love
and light and blind trust
I have to be a guiding light
a haven of safety
the welcoming arms
and the reassuring calm
I try my best
and fail a thousand times
a day
but each tiny embrace
says I'm well on my way
