In your friendship and prose, there is courage and deliverance.

In the light that you shine on all those who know you, there is courage and deliverance.

In the way that you give and forgive, there is courage and deliverance.

In your words of power and truth, there is courage and deliverance.

In your fears and pain, heartsickness and shame, there is courage and deliverance.

In the love you give to all who come near, there is courage and deliverance.

In your tears of joy and sorrow, there is courage and deliverance.

In all that you know and all that you do, there is courage and deliverance.

Hear my words my dear friend, with heart open wide, what you seek is what you give, you make the world feel alive.

Heartfelt experience, from the deepest abyss you have clumb, what you seek and what you have given, with your words, is courage and deliverance for the numb.
