Him Poem by Patricia Lafontant

He spoke words of truth and even the harshest were delivered with kindness
He listened to weakness and never subscribed to taking advantage
He took sorrow and suffering and turned it into spiritual strength
He exposed my beauty, without exposing my body
And now he undresses my heart
So I lie here naked but clothed with hope
I’m not cold, nor am I ashamed
I have simply been introduced to love
And I publicly accept the invitation
To living the rest of my life
With
Him
-P.Lafontant
