I need you as much now
as way back when
and when you feel I don’t
as I did then
remember this small thing
if you ask yourself why

it's because YOU gave me
wings to fly
on my own
although far away
rest assured that you’re in my heart
and there, you will always stay
for distance and time
is no measure of love
not when it's been blessed upon me
from the heavens above

so never think, that you are not near
my dear friend, you are always here

within my heart.


{dedicated, with much love. }

I am especially fond of the line:

"distance and time
is no measure of love..."

The above holds so much truth that it gives credence to the entire piece.  Well done and that line above, keep in your heart forever.

"for distance and time

the very fact that I cannot even be original in my quote of your work gives evidence that this write has a classic quality to it...extremely well done
