The Love Connection

This page goes out to all the love-struck people in the world. But it is specially dedicated to 2 very special friends of mine. You know who you are, this poem is for you.

Love

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you.

I love you,

Not only for what

You have made yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

I love you

For the part of me

That you bring out;

I love you

For putting your hand

Into my heaped-up heart

And passing over

All the foolish, weak things

That you can't help

Dimly seeing there,

And for drawing out

Into the light

All the beautiful belongings

That no one else had looked

Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you

Are helping me to make

Of the lumber of my life

Not a tavern

But a temple;

Out of the works

Of my every day

Not a reproach

But a song.

I love you Because you have done

More than any creed

Could have done

To make me good,

And more than any fate

Could ahve done

To make me happy.

You have done it

Without a touch,

Without a work,

Without a sign.

You have done it

By being yourself.

Perhaps that is what

Being a friend means,

After all.

-Roy Croft

You guys make a great couple. I'm wishing you both the best of luck, and I'm praying for you night after night Donny. Do what you must, but never forget one another.

 


There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

Suerte Bueno!
