My Hero

When you came to me
I was brokenhearted and blue
you took an interest in me, love
and I instantly knew

that you were then my hero
soft-spoken and softhearted
you showed me what it felt like
to receive true love and know
it has only started.

Today I still feel that love
as warm as it could be
and  I am still in love with you
my hero, true and sweet.

Thanks, Carolyn. He is. I am blessed to have him and I will make sure I keep him. I hope you have one too.

Dora, your "hero" sounds like a wonderful guy! I'm glad you're "still in love," for many of the poets here lament lost loves. Very sweet, Carolyn
