For Jim
Shards of sunlight streak through the trees like visual happiness.
I touch your face. You take my hand. Ahh-h, God, I am so blessed.
The difference in the world I share with you this glorious day,
And the life I bore alone so long compare in not one way.
A two-fold cord is stronger far than any strand alone,
With two there's heat from the numbing cold that cuts clear to the bone.
Your love has hastened spring to me and brought me naught but cheer.
My heart beats clearer, stronger too, by knowing you are near.
The name of this poem caught my eyes. I once knew a Jim, but he's gone now :( He was my favourite teacher ever, lost touch with him... But one day I will find him! N/e ways my feeling towards him is pure respect and which is different from your poem. haha ^^ I liked this poem tho, its very descriptive and I can see your love for this man. And I can totally relate to this "you are near" feeling. Doesnt it feel good just to know that someone is THERE?
thanx for sharing :)
