Passing It On

I've drifted in my mind, to events,
days, messages received from you
wondering when, you began to mean
something to me. Realizing that the
times you were there, was when
I was down, in need of support,
someone to make me laugh, to
tease, to listen Without realizing,
you were the one I turned to,
sought, looked for to share my
happiness, sorrows, frustrations, incidents
that seem little now, but at the
time, were soul searching events
in my life.

Along this path, love entered in,
a love that is unique, not experienced
before. Emotions, flew between us,
and I picked up on yours,
knew when you were down, happy,
and all those in between. You
called it bonding, of souls, of
those who touch one another once
in a lifetime, sharing, caring, not
asking for anything but the presence
of your mind.

For the thoughtful and loving ways,
warmth and guidance, I will always
cherish, for the everlasting rays of
warmth you extend, the helping hand
you have no idea how you
have touched my life, changed my life,
and brought love back into it.

A love, I now can pass
on to others, those people whose
lives I may touch however briefly.
Love does grow, it blooms, when
nourished, flowers, and expands to
encompass all of those that we meet.
For this gift of love can
never be repaid, it can only
be carried on and passed to
those we meet.
