Arising from the turmoil
Born of fallen tears
Purified by sorrow
Cleansed of all her fears
She clutches to her breast
A most treasured key
That will once again
Hopefully set her heart free
Though she grips it most tightly
She longs, to place it in the hands
Of the man she finds worthy
One who truly understands

Wonderful.
Beautifully written and brimming with empathy and meaning. A perfect rhyme scheme as always (and by now, I don't expect anything less from you!) and a nice, neat ending that works well and fits in, at the same time as making us think about the person in question.
Another fantastic write from the master himself
