I read your words,
delicately laced with warmth and beauty…
smart and innovative, building success upon success…
quirky and bizarre, so funny they make me giggle-snort…
wise and comforting as a loving older sister
I read your words,
painting pictures real enough to be touched…
nurturing empowerment and possibility…
summoning emotions surprising in their strength
I read your words,
thoughts, heart, and life generously shared…
drawn from depths in which I’d drown
I read your words,
And wonder why I try to write.
