Within their walls

I find my light.

Between their borders

I am granted respite.

When all alone,

I have these friends

Whose devotion

Has boundless ends

Their guidance and

Counsel is oft

What I seek in

Oder to make soft

The harsh blows

Of heart-wrenching life.

I need their comfort

In turmoil and strife.

Their bindings but

Gentle embrace me

And unlock the

Mysteries with life’s key.

I know that I shall

Not leave them behind

For with them,

Love I do find.
