Somewhere Safe

No camera can ever capture

That kindness in your smile

Or the love that’s in your eyes

No camera can ever hold

The way I felt as we climbed that hill

Just you and I and the windswept day

No camera can ever show how proud I am of you

How much I love to be with you,

How much I care.

I listen

To the things you say

I feel safe in your presence

And as I turn,

To watch you on this perfect day

I want to hide it all somewhere safe

To play again

When you are no longer here.
