Speak to me my Kindred, sing me your song
Teach me the things for which I have longed
Speak to me in your sweet dulcet voice
Lost in its sound, I have no choice

Tell me of your life, show me your heart
Share with me everything, even the sad parts
I'll offer my shoulder should you need to cry
I won't even question, I already know why

Tell me your secrets, things that we can share
Together we'll survive the pain that we bear
We'll always be this way, perhaps we've always been
Thank you for knocking on the door, I'm so glad I let you in.

this poem had an older style about it..but I enjoyed that..the words rolled nicely when spoken out loud..and the sentiments expressed by it were truly caring

A lovely poem  

I look forward to finding more of yours to read
