Torch Bearer

Torch Bearer

When there was sadness and darkness

You held a blazing torch for happiness

Cutting a path for me through the gloom

Showing me how it would be better soon

Your light gave me a feeling of security

Your manner showed nothing but empathy

You were a shining beacon of real hope

Eager to teach a broken soul how to cope.

So I walk again with belief and confidence,

Thankful you were there to make a difference.

(to my mind).......while I read this ~ it came to me that what you're doing is writing a book of Love poems for the Love of your Life...........I'm sorry to assume anything on your behalf.........but it REALLY jumped out at me that she is a VERY lucky woman to have so many loving writes written specifically for her........real magic brother........so very special this kind of affection..........high fives bro!!..........well done.........T xo

You are a perceptive man in realizing that she was the one who saved me in the first instance when I was prepared to let it all go. She was there for me when I was at my lowest and stuck by me through my health issues and helped me cope with my disability. She is still here today lifting me up when I fall.
She provides a lot of my inspiration in writing and in life !
Wishing you all the best ! :)
