Tender is the storm- That heals a wounded soul, Painstaking is the task- That makes a person whole. Courageous is the heart- That fights the sleeting rain, To find that wounded soul- And take away the pain. Patient is the hand- That soothes a worried brow, Forgives of past mistakes- Teaches only here and now. Trust is the key- To strong internal mending, Tenderly Courageous, Patiently Trusting- Unwavering, Unbending. Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Devina, this poem is inspiring, beautiful and perfect. Thank you for writing this, maybe it's time I try to heal. I printed your poem out, so when I have bad days all I have to do is read it to lift me up. You have a great talent. Take care, Melissa Honeybee |
