and post notes and photos about your poem like Keith D Trestrail.
I feel in your heart its chain to my own
and unbroken are a joy to the world -
far you have come and I will it beknown
that you are the love and light of my soul.
Be not a hero nor fool in the fight
and owe not any man lest you begrudge -
even in the tumult of wrong do right
and let the haughty over this world judge.
If one truth is mine to tell let it be
that no father ever loved his son more -
thus do I with the fondest frequency
affectionately hold and gaze in awe.
Behold! I see a lamb with a lion’s heart,
I see my whole and you its greatest part.
