Gentle Caress

A gentle sunbeam
caressed a young heart
that longed for love.
It wasn't a human touch,
yet, if felt so great.
For a moment,
any trace of fear
suddenly faded away.
The owner of that young heart,
sweetly smiled.
Maybe, destiny left her alone
in a dark world,
where nobody cared about her.
But, somehow, nature let her know
that even when others told her
that she was worthless,
somebody loved her deeply,
just the way she was.
Maybe for others such a thing
would be something nearly meaningless,
but for her, it meant knowing
that she was still a human being.
