Protector
Spread your boughs wide and encircle me with your span May your soft leaves gently caress and comfort me Protect me with your size and calm my nerves with your strength Feed and nourish me with your fruits and keep my secrets safe with your wisdom Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Sarah from Sarahsouthwest is hosting D'Verse and has prompted us with The Strange Houses of Lee Madgwick.

Welcome⭐❤
it’s nice to have a poem that speaks of natural world security in this heartless time of deforestation
Yes, I understand. Thank you Sean ☺️
This brings a lot of comfort and warmth; a suitable title for the photo.
Thank you very much Grace. I’m happy you liked it ☺️💕
I love the idea of a house and its garden providing a safe retreat.
Thank you so much. It is where we are supposed to feel safe. Isn’t it? ☺️💕
Yes, that’s true. I’ve just been evicted from my rental house because the landlord is selling so I’m feeling a bit edgy about housing at the moment.
Thnk you Suzanne ☺️💕
Beautifully expressed!
Thank you Carol ☺️💕
I would love such a soothing embrace…
Trees have a way of making you feel safe and secure
A desire for sanctuary found in a calm “embrace”: tender and revealing.

Hello Dora! ☺️. Hope you are well. Thank you so much 💕
I feel comforted by your vision from this picture. Thank you for “protect me with your size and calm my nerves with your strength”. This reminds me of the steadiness of a favourite Oak tree, too.
Thank you so much. Yes I had a large oak tree in mind when I was writing it. I think we all have favorites! ☺️💕
