Too Close Poem by Timothy john Green

When we started out
we were all over each other
but the sound of panic
reaching over us
like a tent
you kept us in

plans to find her
amounted to nought
What a poor sad soul
saved and brought to safety
but not without injury

Kept at an arms length
for too long you said
I was too close
but you were to far away
out of fear
led astray

But in the end
never too far
from his love
a father from above
sent to soothe
your loving arms
no need for weapons
no want for alms
