In The Comfort Of Your Arms Poem by Jim Yerman

The day I was born I noticed it…
how you sheltered me from harm…
Why, I even fell asleep…
in the comfort of your arms…

For when you put your arms around me and hugged me to her chest.
I felt warm…I felt love…I felt safe,
I felt secure…and blessed.

Blessed to be with someone whom I already know
will make me feel this way…wherever I may go…

Blessed to know wherever I may go in life…your arms will always reach me
Blessed to know you, Grandma, …have so much you will teach me.

You'll teach me about love and kindness…compassion…and integrity
You'll teach me about strength and beauty…and generosity…

For you know the secret of Grandmahood
(and perhaps to life as well) …
A secret all you Grandmas know but often do not tell…

I'm not sure where you learned it
How it became the Grandma's creeds…
To always give more than you can give…
and take less than you may need.

But means whenever we're together
love will fill the air
and every time I climb into my your arms…
I'll find some comfort there.
