Everyday was tricky, unsurpassable and unchangeable..

Yet you kept me steady, til I found my feet.  You helped me find worth even in failure.

And not only today will I write poetry and songs about you, but everyday.. I feel your breathe in my chest, while I wrap my arms around the precious you.. and sit on the nest of the balcony and say..

"this is all worth it.... this is what life feels again...."

and when life seems far too difficult - i roost in it.

Settling into the hollows you have made..

cuddling away miseries.

Drawing comfort from your presence.. even when days are unspeakably mysterious.

And so I will express this over and over again..  for you brought me back my life,  my hopes,

my achievement and my courage in adversity.

And from this day, I submit myself to the joys you crafted out of love.

As I hold you this moment and I will hold you forever,

I seem to feel my patchwork life - now and eternally - held in its safe keeping...
