Gentle Hands

I’m at your complete mercy,

And I wonder if pain will come.

Your tranquillity is most evident,

And my anxiety becomes calm.

I know that this operation,

Is to save me further pain.

But putting total trust in another,

Is not always easy to do.

Now I am being levelled,

I try to avoid the resistance.

And here your caring manner,

Combines with your gentle hands.

From the beginning, no pain,

Only a lovely feeling of experience.

Coming from your every action,

And the touch of gentle hands.
