If my words to you are like receiving a rose
In the delicate petals of my heartfelt prose
Then may your path be blanketed every day
In acceptance of these things I sincerely say
If there is a comfort you find to ease any pain
Then I am honored for my writing is not in vain
To know, at least, that I can touch by my form
The heart and soul of you through any storm
It is reward enough to be remembered in part
And that warms me so to the core of my heart
To know of that kinship that true friends share
Is a treasure that I value for it is always there
In the brilliance of the beauty that shines in you
I recognize it as special for I know that it is true
You have demonstrated it over and over again
and it is to you, Kate Clifford, that I raise my pen
I have been quite busy as of late and have not been here much but once in a while I do receive messages and correspondence that touch me deeply when someone lets me know I am missed and not forgotten. It is to those of you and you know who you are...who will be singled out by me for dedication now and then as a result of my deep appreciation...so watch out!!!
Love,
Amor

It is so gratifying to know that our words can touch someone so deeply, perhaps heal, or help to heal, a deep hurt. A beautiful tribute to your friend, Amor. ~Best, Elizabeth

This has touched me deeply. This is the first poem that has been written to me by a man. It will be like the first kiss, the first rose, forever remembered and forever touching my soul. Thank you!
