I have a friend that I visit in my dreams,
and in those dreams our different ages
doesn’t matter, not between tight friends,
that are on this life book, on the same page.
We are eight decenniums so apart, and yet,
don’t need to shout on our world, onstage
we are the princes in that a fantastic play,
with our mind mysteriously we can engage.
Eli is a little boy, living in is own world,
a world that most of us cannot penetrate,
but that an old man closing is eyes at night
let Eli to come and open his sadness cage.
We never meet, through the mother’s words
he suddenly, like a little angel, he was there,
looking at my sadness gave me a big hug and
whisper in my ear, “all will be good” he said.
Nobody knows how he knows, the truth is,
that we should accept what the Lord gave
as we ask in awe, why me, why any of us can
be, in His eyes, worth of have Eli as a friend.

You have captured Eli with your words, even though you only know him through my words, and the stories I have written of his world. I will treasure in my heart as you have a beautiful and wise spirit. And as you are the elder, closing your eyes at night...I am sure Eli would open his sadness cage and hug you. These words you have written go so beyond anything anyone can say of him...you have truly made me cry..tears of happiness and pride! Happy Birthday my friend...and I thank you so much for this poem. You are his angel and I just keep reading these words you wrote. It is as though you have known him forever and deep in his heart and mind! Love to you, CarolHawks
Be always safe,

On another note, I found out that today's your birthday:
We all know this fellow named Georg
It seems his name folks like to forge
Today's his birthday
So he must be quite gay (in the happy way)
Even if he does live in Norge (I'm just making that up.)
Happy Birthday with love and peace,
Regis

And Brother Edvard, wishing you a most Happy Birthday, Today.
If the rest of mankind were as accepting of all the Elis of our world, those that are not considered perfect ... it would be such a better place. This is a beautiful, moving, loving tribute to Carol's Eli - well done, Sir.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
