Notes About The Poem

One Soul To Another

I feel your pain, and yet I'm unable to rescue you 
from yourself, and I know in my heart
I never will.
Looking into your eyes, I see both doubt and love,
wondering why I care.
I found a boy locked in a man's body, and my heart ached!
You were friendless, helpless, and hopeless;
how could I not care!
My heart instantly made room for you and welcomed you in.
Something beautiful happened the day
you found a father; I found a son! 
You lied, you stole, and you connived,
but I wouldn't let go,
and neither would you!
I'm all you have, 
and I want to make a difference in your life.
Separate we're weak, missing a piece of ourselves,
but together we're strong,
supporting each other with our love.
My presence will continue to touch your life, unto death.
I hope we meet again in paradise 
and greet each other, one soul to another,
my son!
