Against All Odds

Stay close
He holds her tight
The Shepard warned him
Of this delight

She lay sleeping
In his arms
Keeping safe
From the world's harms

Pulling on one side
Tugging the other
They'll never be alone
For they have each other

Backs turned
Banished in shame
Pain is a piece
And life is the game

No where to go
Alone at last
Running and hiding
To escape the past

Strong like an oak
Free like a dove
All that matters now
Is their love
