Bringer

Tell me again what it is

that you do

the truths that you know

how you see the world

not as it is, but as it can be

I never get tired of your

patience

We bask in the shadow of your

unconditionality

an understander of

understanding for the

misunderstood

a mind so deeply complex

yet so simple

like looking at a leaf

and then looking at it under

a microscope and marveling

at its inner workings

a childhood marred by pain

that lingered long after

you rose above adversity

with grit and purpose

but never forgot that boy

who was you

pouring out compassion

all around you

when you're near

good things happen to

good people

uncanny intuition

a shimmering methodology

to freedom and future

a bringer of clarity

to confusion

a heart so deep that I'm

still unable to

see the depths

so maybe it is endless

you have a pocketful of

pebbles for felling our

giants

We're blessed beyond measure

to call you friend

designer of futures

architect of freedom

Amen.
