The Humanitarian

I dreamed a dream so vivid and true Lucid, this magical woman just happened to be you. Offered hand, selfless as you embraced my fears Kindness overwhelmed which led to my tears. Still apprehensive, how thoughtful you are You cherished me, as much as I cherish a falling star. Blessed and valued by your eternal embrace With you, all my problems, now I can face Feeling your tenderness as we fly up high Warmth from your heart, tears parched as I cry Why do you care so? Encased with your affection Adoration for all, good or bad, no-one feels rejection How you shine, you hold the key to humanity Civility to all, how your honesty led me to Christianity Pure sincerity from your soul, an amazing grace Polite, moral manors that is needed in the human race Now I must leave and wake to the bitter land I found respect from my dream, like you, I’ll offer my hand Spreading the word, that graciousness to all is pure love Hand in hand to a peaceful place, that’s the dream from up above. I love you Nan, thank you for your inspiration With your help from heaven, I’ll carry on with my salvation You gave me the number nine to be a Humanitarian Knowing how people will turn against this, the contrarian.
