i could never repay you
for all you've done for me
And you did it anyway
And you would do it anyway
No matter what
i remember all you've told me
as if i could even forget
the best of humanity
wrapped in humility
you design things
buildings
interiors
spaces
you renovate things
buildings
interiors
safe places
you create things
calm from chaos
safe from shrapnel
freedom from fear
confidence from chains
clarity from smoke and mirrors
correcting with kindness
i can even hear your eye rolls now
through the phone
and i try to laugh silently
but i know you know i'm laughing
and then you try not to
you are extraordinary
when it comes to
intuition
empathy
problem-solving
knowing what needs to be known
doing what needs to be done
you were most definitely
sent as a helper
you are an indomitable spirit
and have an uncanny sense of
who we are and
what is best for us
you are right
even if we amateurs disagree
but you see what no-one else does
in an amazingly ethereal way
you've talked me off ledges i
didn't even know i was on
you've encouraged me endlessly
and without fail
you've always believed in me
when i don't believe in myself
you know every trap door in our minds
and what's behind them
a mysterious God-sent mix of
heaven and earth
and i wouldn't trade you
for the world.
