Throw A Blanket On Me

Remember that feeling
Of being tucked in?
That blanket pulled tight
Right under your chin?
In that half slumber
Knowing love and such grace
That your cynicism now
Even dare not replace?
Well, we’re all still that child
Even as we have grown
We’re all still that vulnerable
We’re all still alone
Our journey is fraught
At times cruel and unfair
We could all use a hand
That’s more often not there
But for the sake of my child
And yours, let’s agree
To care for each other
Throw a blanket on me
