Brave New Love

A healed heart, with it’s tender petals,
	Budded tight to protect itself,
Hesitantly opens one petal at a time,
	Warmed by the rays of hope,
Cultivated and caressed by the gentle,
	Kind hands of affection,
Longs for the warmth of tender love
	And companionship,
So courageously opens,
	One petal at a time,
To the possibilities of a dream come to life.
