Vulnerable

I poured out my heart I wanted to share You were not prepared You just stood and stared I felt so naked A little bit lost Being vulnerable Would I pay the cost You took a moment Then I saw why You were all choked up You started to cry You came and hugged me Looked into my eyes The love I wanted Was then realized By taking a chance I let you see me No more pretending We both could be free Many years passing Drinking from loves well True lover's magic Is not just a spell Vulnerable made strong When hearts beat as one Worth taking a chance To bask in your Sun Dedicated to my Sweetie who is my Sun, Moon and Stars.

Vulnerability is part of the human condition. Having someone to see you through life's struggles and hold your hand - is a gift from God. I'm sure she would love to read this!

Absolutely! I like the cap, you look like a longshoreman.
