"To make a difference no matter how small / Is worth not one penny less than everything / To help and heal and comfort the suffering / Around you--and in me--which others will not see"

*Transcendental Sonnet #1271:* *For One Who Has Been Kind to Me* *so many have been so kind* *here I have Chanti in mind* *"To whom much is given much shall be required"* *Being raised this way can make one very tired* *Tired but tried and proven to be true* *This is how it is for me and you* *We do what we can as we do what we must* *Knowing it is better to wear out than rust* *And all the good you do will surely follow you* *That is why I am drawn to you and love you* *When you are mired in mud you look above you* *And know that there is a meaning to it all* *To make a difference no matter how small* *Is worth not one penny less than everything* *To help and heal and comfort the suffering* *Around you--and in me--which others will not see* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV*

Amazing tribute to Chanti. Like many others would be, I can understand how honored she is to have a poem like this dedicated to her. Any woman, whether lover or friend, could appreciate this tribute. Thanks for sharing.

Stevie,

I am touched beyond words by your tribute but don't feel deserving of such high praise. I have only done what any other caring human being would when presented with great need. Might I say that although I am embarrassed to receive such public praise, I think your poem is brilliant! The way words seem to flow from your pen is enviable. I am in awe!
God bless Stevie and know you are loved
Chanti
