You’re a study to me
content in your calmness
not derailed by desire
nor rotten with bitterness
You cry when you need to
outspoken but reasonable
never screaming, no ill meaning
at your core, only gentleness
An easiness in each movement
you wave everyone in
make integrity and kindness
look utterly effortless
Disarming and charming
you got strong
from lifting others up
as if it’s not that hard to do
You’re a gentle man
and I’m proud my flesh
came from you…

A beautiful poem, Tom, it really does evoke gentleness and calmness! I loved the lines
"you got strong
from lifting others up"! 🌷
Thank you Rose 😃 A gentle poem for a gentle person.
Thanks also to Frederick, Purplemoon, Rose, The Stephens, Jo and Héléne for stopping by reading and 'liking' this one.
