Yesterday as I sat on the beach
I thought about your style and grace
always under pressure,
but never showing upon your face.

And now?
I hear you are suffering
and must lay yourself out
upon the table
to show everyone your huge heart.
I've felt that heartbeat
so many times, my friend,
as it reached out in strength
of character and passionate love
for every other heart it encountered.

I am there with you in heart and soul,
offering whatever strength my own heart
can muster up to assist you.
In lieu of flowers and cards,
I give you my heartbeat
and healing thoughts.

And when you are well,
I'll gift you that much-written-about
camelhair bikini.
Healing thoughts to you, Larry.

Peace...Namaste...Love
