Melody

Melody

Kolten Slaughter

Melody, when your voice 
First graced my ear 
I felt like I could finally 
Hear.

A sweet loving sound came
from your palms,
The sweetest bitter from any
Psalms.

Kindness that shines more
Than any snow.
Your pain has been shunned down 
Low.

Blossom, grow! Mightier than 
Any other sound! 
You were once lost but now are
Found.
