my heart was strengthened
by your love
and given wings to attempt to fly,
and every time
that darn cliché came to light
i thought i might slip up and cry
it was affection i felt
from the grace of your soul,
and it greeted mine with kindness,
bowed before me
with good intention
and held my hand in steadiness
meanwhile i let
the mask fall away
for i had you face to face,
and there was no pretense
in the sincerity
of giving any part of yourself away
- les’nspired
