Both Hands
~~~
The care that is due
Bears the repeating
For heartbreak new
Love defeating
Will hollow out the man
~~~
The hope remains true
Hands of a sweet thing
See the heart through
Love ne’er fleeting
Lift it and help it stand
~~~
If you can see to
Its care and feeding
Promised to you
No more needing
Much love returned is planned
~~~
I give it to you
Bloody and beating
This love so blue
Still retreating
Please hold it with both hands
~~~

How could anyone not care for the heart you so willingly hand over? A bubble wrapped protection kind of love…
Beautiful, as always, Brad! ❤
You’d be surprised. It has been kicked down the road a few times. But it still seems to work okay.
an open and loving offer
To a game of “hot potato”. Thanks, Beth!
