The Poet's Corner

Friends
Fragile spirits reach out into the night
Reaching out to touch, to hope, to embrace.
If only for a moment, to hold someone close,
Ever wary of the pitfalls they face.
Not wanting to endure the pain alone,
Delicate souls entwine, embrace,
Smiling, to know true joy!

Frequently, they search the night
Requiring only a moment to feel, to live
Inspiring one another to continue on
Enabling one another to love, to give.
Noticing the needs of the other, and caring
Daring to open up to the other, receptive,
Still wanting to believe, enjoy.

Father in heaven, I thank You!
Rejoicing as My soul warms, grows.
I will praise You, for You are faithful!
Even giving my desires, my hopes!
Not leaving me alone to suffer and die,
Delivering me, healing my sorrows
Saving me and filling my heart with Joy!

For I have found a soulmate,
Replenishing me anew as You direct!
Infilling my empty heart with hope
Enabling me to look upon myself and reflect.
Nurishing me with the love only You can give.
Daily, I will arise, my heart to inspect
So that I may be Your child, Your joy!
