STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

This poem is dedicated to a very special person,someone who said "I will be there" and who has been there consistently, not just for me but for my whole family.

Sometimes people come into your life,
and the connection is instant,
Like a lightning bolt.
Is it stupid to feel connected to someone
you've never actually met,in the flesh?
Is it silly to feel like you sooooo know that person?
Trust....
Takes so long to come usually.
But this time somehow you KNOW.
You feel it in every fibre of our being
...this person is safe, this person I can trust
And you do. You trust and hope 
that somehow they feel the same.
It is such a gift, to feel safe.....
in a world that has whacked you so many times....
I know..we all feel our troubles the most.
but truly,
feeling safe,
feeling accepted, 
feeling loved, 
for who I am,
with all my sweetness,
and pushiness,
unconditionally...
...such a sweet gift
...such a feeling of 'being okay'
I want to give that gift
I want you to know
that safety,
that acceptance,
that unconditional love,

that feeling of coming home.
