You Were Poem by Dónall Dempsey

You Were

Rating: ★5.0


You were
a surprisingly lovely flower
coming up somehow through
the cracked pavement of
your pain.
One wouldn’t have
expected anything

to have come from
such... beginnings.
So
not only were you
beautiful
but amazing.

You weren’t to be
explained
And we were...
(just glad that)
...you were.

How well you seem to know and understand the heart of love.............and to be able as well to transcribe those feelings into words...........is a gift from God. Thank you for sharing your heart with me.....RED
