Acceptance Poem by Bradley Lester

My hands were reached, you took them in
My cry of help, my eyes so sad
You held me gentle, I felt no shame
My head I rested, this peace I had

You could have turned, and walked away
You stayed and listened, to my plea
Of wanting someone, of needing love
This gift you brought from you to me

How do I thank, what must I say
No words could be enough you know
Of how you made me feel that day
My love for you began to grow
