For Kate

You remind me of everything beautiful, of everything worth living for, you remind me of the miracle, you remind me of sharing, of giving and when I am with you, you remind me of myself and I remember what is to be whole, complete, I remember myself, you remind me of a life of compassion, of heart felt wonder, I remember my strength and my weakness and I embrace them both, you remind me of something eternal, it lingers in your kiss, it holds my hand, walks with me on paths unknown and lays with me in peace, you remind me of perfect moments and all those moments yet to come, you give me a future as yet unwritten, but held tenderly in anticipation, you remind of love, and of love, and in love, and for love, and by love, in the breathing soul of a universal one, how all of love is forged. You remind me of the miracle, everything beautiful and everything worth living for.
