For You

For You

The heart is slow to heal
years can pass and solitude
becomes all you are able to feel
There's always a tiny piece
locked away and guarded
release it from those chains
to show you how to love again
Take the time you need
don't swallow the hurt
stand up when you're ready
some things are of worth
An outstretched hand
A big brother who understands
A love for those who can't
from far across the land

-R Van Tassel
