Love,
You look a bit broken—what is it, my dear?
Do words break you, and it's hard to bear?
You cry at night, what is it that you fear?
They don't listen to you? Talk to ME, I'll hear!
.
And,
If you feel alone, close your eyes and say
"You're my destination, HOPE of my way"
Don't worry too much, you're all I pray!
You're the only picture that I see all day
.
So,
If world feels too tight, I'll be your light
I'll be a magnifier if you lose your sight
If they point at you, I'll be your shield
My Love, My Care—You will be healed!

😍 beautiful in all ways... what a lovely return ❤️😊💫☀️💚
This was beautiful and had a great rhythmic tone! This is like medicine for a broken person; every word reflects a sense of compassion, kindness and care. This is very touching! Great one! 😊 Welcome back!
She's back!!! I thought you had disappeared forever. A nice poem for your return
This reminded me of the song Stand By You, by Rachel Platten. Your poem was sooo sweet. Everyone needs a person like this in their lives!
