Silent Affection

Benevolence was sought and was found with delight, 
amiability with kindness brings me to my gentle knees.
With each stroke of good will my sadness does cease
and in the wretched darkness altruism brings light.
Selfishness with mercy always bring me pure ease,
a warm heart cannot be cold when given out of care.
I seek only clemency when life’s problems are not fair
and the ability to see the pain no one else ever sees. 

One may be silent yet speaks volumes in his affection, 
for there is nothing as rare as a special connection. 
I show gratitude for him bestowing such geniality
and in return I give to him a heart of tender affability.

lu loo, the man to whom you refer is without a doubt a very fortunate man. Why? Because he has you as his friend and that makes him a man to be envied yet congratulated at the same time. Yes, he is fortunate indeed. Congratulations on your win.
