The gentle one

If love had one face, it would be yours

If love held one thought, it would be you

Yet youre not loved by one, but scores

who sing your praise, and to you are true.

And who can blame the many in your wake

if one beholds your gentle touch and gaze,

the way in which you heal those who break

and spend your life in comforting ways?

Its small wonder I lost my heart to you,

only it was not merely in admiration,

but with a steadfast love thats true

and raises itself to a new elevation.

I dared not hope youd feel the same

and would happily have stood aside,

yet one moment put me in your frame

to tell me my love would not be denied.
