The View From My Heart...


Lifting you up...
I cannot look at you but I see you,
I cannot hear you but I listen to your voice,
I cannot touch you but I feel your love.
You are my sisterfriend.
I don't know who sent you or how you came
or how I went to you.
It does not matter now.
All that matters is we care for each other
...and I love you.
Be well my dearest beloved Arija
My counsel, my guide, my wise friend.
You have given me so much.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You taught me to love
when there was a good reason to hate.
You taught me to trust
when there was a good cause to disdain.
You always believed in me,
You always held me up high,
Now I summon every strength,
every thought,
every love,
every prayer.
Be well my beloved friend.
