for Franziska You and I have known each other now for so long And all along as we have grown it has kept us strong To know as we grow how somebody cares to see Somebody daring somehow to be you or me As dare we do right where you and I come to be Caring we the daring who were free all along We who knew we loved us as we grew near from afar Love us here and now and always as just as we are +Steven Curtis Lance drawing of der Steppenwolf, happy at last, by Franziska Copyright MMXIV
