Rescued

With the gentleness of a dove
you made me what I would be.
Softly, quietly you used love
from my past to set me free.

I did not know of your design.
It was subtle, sweet, tender.
But my soul it did surely find
and all my faults surrender.

A day came when I was new,
I scarce could understand why.
But now I know sweet, gentle you
found me worthy of a try.

Thank you, Michelle. One of my New Year's wishes is to be a poet as good as you. Truly gifted--that's what you are. Hugs, Paul
