Reneé
As I write this
My cheeks glisten,
With tears of happiness and tranquility
A smile on my face
Inside I had collapsed
I reached out for the last time
And you took my hand
Holding on tightly, determined to fight with me
The warmth of your nature began to fight my sadness instantly
Love and tenderness sparkling through your eyes
Your heartfelt smile a silent expression of care
And absolute understanding
Your words have created a magical symphony
A symphony of compassion and love
Causing my enemy, pain to surrender
And burying my will for self destruction
Your perseverance and ceaseless time
Have drawn out my whirlwind of emotions
And your guidance,
Has painted a rainbow of hope in my life
My emotions had destroyed me
The creators of the dead, desolate winter inside me
But by the touch of your life on mine
My heart and life saw the first blossoms of spring
You are the reason for the beginning of my gradual transition
From the fragile wings of a butterfly
To the stable wings of an eagle,
Soaring through life with a purpose
My journey with you has been life changing
Your constant support and encouragement have become my inspiration
My inspiration to really live
For this, I can never thank you enough
You are truly an amazing blessing in my life
As I carve your name into my heart with love,
I realize that I have been touched by the grace of God
Through a very special angel,
You

have you in my life. You have helped me in so many ways and have really made my life
worthwhile again. You have instilled so much in me, and because of you, I am a better
person. Thank you for your time, support, guidance and absolute understanding. I hope this
poem gives you some idea on the magnitude of the difference which you have made in my
life. You are so incredibly special to me!
Tons of love
