I Owe You a Million of Thanks

You found me a broken soul You didn’t need to know my past You just lifted me and carried me away Your gentle touch assured me I was safe Your soothing voice was most comforting Your tenderness was the validation of the possibility I have a chance to make it I couldn’t bring myself to look into your eyes I was too afraid to open my eyes In my confusion thoughts you were an Angel Perhaps you’re here to take me up to Heaven Away from the pain and ugliness that’s breaking me down to pieces And in my broken heart I felt your spark of hope You didn’t need to ask me for anything Seeing and understanding who I was You went about your way and cared for me You healed me You filled me with hope You gave me a validation there’s much to live for Now I can look into your eyes My heart embraces you I’m smiling for you And I suppose I owe you a million of thanks Akkina 8/8/23 POTD 8/10/23 Hello poets, been a bit.
