Lady
Lost in myself... feeling quite hopeless
Silently you begged... to be noticed
Emotions exhausted... spirits drained
Histories of abuse, hidden scars... pain
Fate... a reincarnation movie on
Hope... all window screens gone
Searching your eyes... I wondered
Looking for signs... I pondered
Who... in my protected treasuries
Loved ones... in my hearts’ memories
Fate or hope... you caught my attention
Immediately... we made a connection
Two of a kind... both full of doubt
I took you in... you brought me out
Battle of demons... never ending
Changes needed... a new beginning
How could we know what to expect?
Silently willing to respect and protect
You had to have my hand on your side
I couldn’t sleep 'til I heard you sigh
I miss your gentle Great Dane manners
Together we discovered what really matters
