Thank you Pip friends for being such an important part of my life!!

Promise


I promised I would always be
harmony
in tune with myself through years
clear
my stories freeing a strong part of me
a tree
so others could enrich my life
through me

Could I have seen in distance how
then as now
integrity has always been in place
through grace
I'd know the me I see in you
is true
and love me with what is so you no matter when
now or then

Harmony clear
a tree
through me
then as now
in grace
is true
now or then

I promised I would always be
in tune with myself through years
my stories freeing a strong part of me
so others could enrich my life

Could I have seen in distance how
integrity has always been in place
I'd know the me I see in you
and love me with what is so you no matter when

"I promised I would always be
in tune with myself"

A strong and stunning message from a musician
I still remember your piano playing. I bet not many PIP folks know of this talent. To excel in poetry and music, what a great combination
Happy Birthday
I love you, I love you, I love you
