Hope

.

Who would have dreamt that I would find

A love like yours, so sweet and kind,

As gentle as the morning rays,

I bask in the sunlight of your gaze.

.

The walls I built you’re taking down,

And my defences are breaking down.

For twenty years I’ve stood alone –

Twenty years all on my own.

.

And now I feel there’s time for us,

If we can just restore my trust

With faith and hope and honesty

I don’t need any guarantee

.

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    I was suspecting something like this from your last couple of posts. Seems it is building rather than petering, and I am happy for you.
