The Gentlest of Giants
September 17, 2009
Six-foot-three
You tower over me
But your heart stays close
To the ground for all to see
Maybe you can find
A place inside for me
Hands so large
You envelop my hand
In your fist
It feels safe there
Protected from harm
Arms so strong
You can lift any load
But your touch is gentle
Tender
A soap bubble would not pop
At your caress

I think it deserves a different title: "you are amazingly talented!" Can you please read my poems? I'm new to poetry and desperately need feedback!
