Hidden tears of pain fell like rain.
So fate filled a pen and drew a quick plan,
One they could tend one that would mend.
Despite the emptiness inside, I was grateful to be alive.
I sought the one responsible, the one that made it possible.
There he stood, battered and bloodied,
Meeting the demands of his command.
I didn't know he had been injured so.
Our eyes met with a quiet understanding,
It was time to go on tomorrow had landed.
Lost to oneself, the others' plight
Becomes the only thing in sight.
So fate gave them the pen and the story began.
He sought not the nearest but the safest port.
He had a plan it was my turn to lend a hand.
Although the healing I knew allowed no infection to brew,
The doctor said it would never be, as good, as new.
Surrounded by the sound and the smell of the sea
Sat a rundown cottage that was nearly free.
I found the perfect spot where the healing could start.
Something old, something new,
Something tried and something true.
Now fate stepped aside, to watch their colors collide.
To his surprise, until healed, I'd be by his side.
Comfy and cozy, we spent each day.
Long and short conversations, we had so much to say.
To my surprise, he took it outside,
With splashes of color, pathways and art.
Fate gave us a start, time did its' part
And the love that grew made everything shiny and new.
