Kicking Stones

The long road

I have been on

Has taken me no where

I have spent my whole life

Kicking stones

Dazed from the days

I thought I was lost forever

Until I found you

A dove in the willow

The voice of a angel

In the quiet of the night

With the softness of a mouse

And the courage of a lion

You saw the crack in my armor

Reached through with your kindness

And healed me

Lovely, great expression of being helped through a rough spot. We never know how or who will touch our life and make a difference. Gratitude is a good place to be. Raskin
