I'll willingly be your beacon of light. A shoulder to cry on, and lean on. Should you need me, you've got... a faithful wingman to muddle through life with. Never paddle your canoe far into the turbulent, lonely sea of "I'll mind my business." Together we'll navigate through any stormy sea. Your fears are mine. Whatever hurts you is also my pain. Whatever makes your heart dance Is also my joy. Your struggles and troubles, mine. Your burden gigantic or infinitesimal, also mine... to shoulder. Never feel as if you walk... the razor's edge alone. You've got me. The towering mountain before you Is also mine to climb. We're in this bumpy journey called life, together. Submitted for...

Congratulations on your win, Edward. Feelings that I feel over my boys when they hurt or feel joy, now passed on with my grandchildren. Hugs Eve
