I'm here with my broad attention
cherishing each precious
burned into my looking back
tomorrow's dreams are homeless
today is the fragile of sustain
the beauty and wonder of imagining
the night is a blossom in crescendo
I am here curious
and there are you the sum of your delight
you have taught me of your superior
I bow and scrape with unusual
and sing your song of whisper
and still . . .

I really like this, so much Jerry.  It is a mixture of serious and almost wistful at the same time, what a great balance.

"tomorrow's dreams are homeless
today is the fragile of sustain"

I especially loved these two lines; I wish I had thought them up!
