A-KNEW

I’ve always known,
born a wee bit awkward,
throughout life, my path
so riddled with stones rocky
and heart-stained thorns
that I find myself upon
reflected introspection
filled with amazement
each time I am loved.

That said,
How fortuitous for me
to have stumbled
tripped into the warmth
and kindness of You!

Taking You by surprise
still, You helped me up
and herein, lies, “us.”
Not only did I fall
into You. . .
I now fall daily,
anew.
