| OUTSTRETCHED ARMS |
| What started as an unknown, Became a daily event, From one stranger, to another, I could feel those arms, Spread open and wide, Drag me in, And hold me tight, Never to let go, When I needed time, To set me right, When I was losing my mind, Not a day goes by, That I don't pray, For those outstretched arms, God had given to me.
