In Tenderness a Hand Extends
by adewpearl
|
In tenderness a hand extends an offer of compassion's aid, and with this act mistrust transcends through tenderness the hand extends. Such touches say, "We shall be friends - misgivings now can be allayed, for tenderness my hand extends with offer of compassion's aid." |

Many people who need help the most are people who, because of their life experiences, have major trust issues. They are often reluctant to accept aid, even suspicious of those who seek to give it. The best approach is often not to be gung-ho about helping out but to ease one's way into the situation. Even the tender touch often needs to be worked up to.
This is NOT a true triolet that conforms to the rules of exact repetition of all the words of the repeated lines, so I am happy to call it just a poem.
