Unflinching
Your life is full of adventures
So many perils and ventures
That's artful like artillery
I don't think you would take a knock
You're unflinching like a rock
Great is your valor, Valerie!
For many centuries I know you
Come. See me and I will show you
My cherished memories' gallery
Where your own pictures you can find
Literary gems of your own kind
Your letters rich with jewelry
I always love to read your verse
I want to tuck in my purse
All your poems with my salary
With vice you are ever at war
Your "thoughts to ponder on" are
A food of high calorie
In your heart you have boundless love
You seem to fly like a dove
Wow! You are so graceful, Valerie!
With high esteem I bow to you
With love and peace I owe to you
My regards and chivalry
My Dear Iqbal, I don't quite know what to say. I've just woke up to prepare getting ready for work, in checking my mail, I find this. You have filled me as a fountain overflowing with appreciation for your friendship. Over the past several weeks of our fulfilling correspondences, you have continually provided me with caring support, and the most fresh abundant food for thought. I know here, that many will not understand the reason for this next statement, but I will say it here anyway. During my most tribulous times when I am about to wonder if I had the strength to endure, it was and is, always you who took my hand and guided me to sources of strength inside which have remained untapped. Though we are separate on earth, you have more abundantly taken residence within my life than those who live near me. For that, You, are my closest neighbor, and in my heart the treasure of life. God Blesses you Iqbal for remaining steadfast at my side with the courage to walk through my life without condemnation. In the name of Our Father who is but One, I remain, Valerie
