juxtaposed as we are just now
to our ingrained work ethic
set upon auto pilot
we step forth today
separated in our parted pursuits
note your Eminence that I am fine with this
only the slightest bit melancholy
finding the world to be a bit of a
different place
and I am near enamored
by such shift in events
you have grown so tall into my life
since my early days of welcoming you to it
never imagined a month could do so much
for the general shaping of my thoughts
what an impression you have made upon me
I am a woman stepping into her newly realized
value
and it is your lifting, guidance, foster hood of faith
and loving kind support
that I have to thank for this
people meander into and throughout a person's life
adding to even as they take away from
the life they encounter
but you sir have only kept adding
and what a marvelous fine builder of confidence
you have become
the structures before me you have erected
are of the keenest quality
my only minute fear now can be
that arrogance on my behalf will
take root and over power all the good you
have brought forth
( laughing now)
no, not really I am incapable
of true arrogance
for in such form
my soul will not abide
in my general missing of you today
this poem came to set with me awhile
hm
who can say
perhaps
at some selfless level
patch pieces of you
were in it
well
it is a lovely little thing to believe
anyway
in my boundless joy of
just getting to know you
as I have
I wish you dearest sir
a happy, happy day
write soon.......................
