       All this and more  

You are to me a sphere of joy
A delight a mischievous toy
A wonderland of word and feel
An endless stream of love and zeal.

The dreams you sell and you expel,
Fills my heart like a brimming well.
I drink you with a thirsty need
And hold you with a miser's greed.

You have the softness of a fawn.
The freshness of a bright new dawn.
The mystery of a starry night.
The pleasures of the mornings light.

And though we stand upon a stage
With all the substance of our age
I never could a truer friend
And pray it never, never end.

Our friendship is a Camelot,
So tax me not, a thank you plot.

A beautiful poem.
