she's the last one to see the sun
so she appreciates it more
it always reminds her of the
last time she saw it
on that day
reflecting off the water
filling her eyes
warming her
like two protective hands
holding her close
making her feel safe
like those hands
that she took into her own
on that day
when she held them to herself
offering love
and life
the life that she feels now
when she looks
into the eyes
of that one
the one who takes her hand
into their own
holds it close
and takes her walking
to see the sun
she appreciates it more
because she's the last one
and she's not alone

I'm not familiar with some of the poets you are writing about Sven because maybe I post at different times or some aren't active for a while..but I do love the way you're putting it all down with such kindness and skill.. you have developed the personalities of each one...such a tribute to them...take care..

I'm so embarassed that it's gone by this long until I saw it!  
You know, you've hit the nail on the head with this one.
You know my life well m'friend!  
Thank you so much, I am honored.
Great big hugs to you....and I'm sorry it took me so long
to discover this Gem!

Irie . . . Nice getting to know you a little better through Sven.
