A caring warmth cast upon my back,
As the noose ‘round my neck went slack,
Unlike the rest, calm, knowing, unique.
It burst through my wall and found me weak.

Fear, uncertainty, caution and joy
Feelings thought lost: given by this boy.
My hand wrote harmless rhetoric
Of love and passion: euphoric.

I’ve a thousand words I want to say
With the coming of each new day.
The world is full of colour and life
Where once I saw but shades and strife.

Thankyou.

For giving me life.
