Supportive arms

protecting you from

the dangers that

threaten to tear you

apart,

and wiping away

the traumas

that have slipped down your face.

Laughter surrounding you,

coming out of you,

and distracting you from

all the things

that makes us

never want to

smile.

Sacrifices,

breaking the rules a

little bit

because they know

that being with you

in this moment

is more important

than a bedtime

ever will be.
