We didn't see it coming,
We hadn't planned for it,
It wasn't part of our wildest dreams,
But then,
quiet and trusting you slipped into my heart.
I tried to shake you loose,
To find again the path,
I thought was mine,
But then,
stubborn and demanding you slipped into my arms.
We talked deep into the night,
We held each other close,
We promised to protect each other,
And
soft and tender you slipped into my soul.
Together we face each day,
Together we face each challenge,
Together we build a life,
Quiet, trusting, stubborn, demanding, soft and tender
Together.
This is my contribution to this week's Poetry Thursday. The challenge this week was to take a line contributed by another poet (thanks! patti) and build a poem around it. Patti's line was "soft and tender you slipped into my soul".

Oh, this is beautiful, Chelle- all of us should be so fortunate to slip into another's soul...
thank you
lovely and romantic in the truest sense
That is so beautiful.
"Together we build a life,
Quiet, trusting, stubborn, demanding, soft and tender
Together."
