Love Poem

If I am to write a poem on love,
then I straight away think of you.
Older and wiser, offering unconditional
open hearted, opened armed embrace.

A love that knows what it is like
to be born into a war zone.
A love to step in when others stepped out.
I would not be here now without you.

So on your birthday here's my love.
Returned in this little package.
I send an enormous hug across the world.
Big sister, big friend, big part of my life.

Morning Just. When all hope was lost, she kept me alive by ringing twice a day from Australia. And that was before messenger!

Hi Tim. Thank you. I will be taking The Wild Atlantic Way shortly to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head. This evening, The Henry Girls will preform on the village green of their hometown. It's going to be a blast!!

This has such a beautiful sentiment Jean. We often don't realize how much help we offer with words. Beautiful! : )
