When you can't do anymore, let go. (1st place contest winner!)

Letting Go
by L.Joy Douglas



I offer you my hopelessness
A gift wrapped in pain
Decorated with tears

Gently you take it
From my shaking hands
And press it to your heart

I watch with a strange new peace
As you embrace my fear
And turn it into
Something beautiful
