Be Gentle with Me, My Love

Be gentle with me, my love
Like the dawn touching the sea
Soft, steady, never rushing forward

Be gentle with me, my love
Like roots holding the ancient tree
Firm, patient, never demanding more

Be gentle with me, my love
Like mist wrapping the quiet hills
Light, lingering, never pressing too close

Be gentle with me, my love
Like a river shaping the stone
Persistent, tender, never breaking apart

Be gentle with me, my love
Like the moon pulling the tides
Distant, devoted, never letting go

Be gentle with me, my love

I♥️
