Please know that I am there with you
In everything you do
All burdens I will bear with you
Until each day is through.

I'm in the faces that you see
I'm in the morning sun
Of all the blooms upon your sill
I'm there in every one.

Please know how much I think of you
As your day goes along
I teeter on the brink of you
Please let this make you strong.

You're in the rain that gently falls
You're in the morning dew.
When strangers smile and say hello
I know that they are you.

You are the breakfast that I eat
You're in my morning mail
Should some small act make my lips smile
You did it, without fail.

Your road goes right and mine goes left
No reason to pretend
But who's to say they will not meet
Somewhere around the bend?

Until that time I'm there for you
As you are here for me
Please take how much I care for you
And use it lovingly.

Dear, take these thoughts I share with you
In deep sincerity
For I am always there with you
And you are here with me.

'Deer,
well are you named, your music lives and breathes.

I was gonna say something about you being a ham and that making you a part of your breakfast, but this piece is just too beautiful.
Be wel, do tell

"Until that time I'm there for you

Now Michael ... just how often can we take all these words that make our hearts simply swoon?  

Forever, LOL! Wonderful Michael, your heart is in a beautiful place right now, and it just shows through these incredible poems. Beautiful!  

Happy Holidays and Best wishes,
/Kit

'Deer...new lights gleam and are gleaned through your words of care and concern for your friend[s]...I know there cannot be just one, for you are, Sir, a giver to all...and this of course will strike all hearts of the men and women who read this...

the cadence rings and sings...this is lovely...and I have to agree, it is a keeper...

Excellent - top drawer - one of your very best - (I'm creating an acronym :IWIHWTM for "I wish I had written this myself") so when you see it (as now) you'll know I'm giving you the highest compliment I can bestow.

I think the knowledge of your being 'there' has long since been known, but it's always nice to refresh the idea, isn't it?  Well done Mr. B.

'Deer, ahh now this fills me with a warm and wondrous glow. I really like this, it's one of those really special ones. A keeper definitely, and a very pleasing thought to finish my day off. (Not that I have finished my day yet, but only another couple of hours or so, and I can drag myself off home.)
Delightful and terrific writing.  
Take care

Has anyone told you what a fine poet you are?
This is lovely, the words are beautiful...these words are alive and give hope to anyone who feels lost in a crowd and alone. Merry Christmas Michael!!!!!!
