One brick at a time
we build our wall
To protect ourselves
and keep others at bay
I let you inside my private world
just seemed so natural to do
You are always welcome here
where I keep others out
You make my world safe
A better place to live

Cool pic!!
Ahh yes, to have found someone that we let beneath our barriers and who makes our world seem safer is indeed a special thing. I'm glad you have

A very speacial write...for when we find the courage and strength to let someone in we have lifted ourselves to a new level...you are so very special and I am so glad you have found that bond...beautifully put...

Thank you for your entry
Lovely sentiments expressed here. To find someone you are willing to let behind the facade is a wonderful thing. Most keep everyone out because they don't want to get hurt.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless
