Thank You

What if I told you

That it's more than real

I've never looked into your eyes

Never heard your voice

We've never embraced

But you reached out

Like a warm summer breeze

Blowing through my life

Fresh perspective

Realization of life as it should be

My life as it should be

Odd how profound the connection

Surprised me, the difference it makes

Saw myself,  my life

In a new light

Made me willing

To pull myself up

Out of the mire

You're far away

And perhaps you always will be

Just know

There will always be

A place in my heart

For you

I wish I could give you

Half the joy you've given me

Thank you
