This poem is dedicated to a very dear friend. Without her my inspiration to write would have never come about. Although, her critiques were many they were never harsh and always sound. Crystal, I thank you.

Though I haven't known you long,
a dear friend you are to me.
If I could only write a song,
You'de be in my symphony.

Encased, in a shell of steel,
the tune comes sounding through.
A melody that does portray,
the gentleness of you.

Don't change your style or compromise,
your emotions for anyone.
A scale of notes and sunlite skies,
has only but begun.

The rhythm and soul that you create,
were beautiful from the start.
A collection of treasures given us,
from deep within your heart.

The beat, the words, and sweet refrain
I write this day are true .
Dreams fulfilled, without the pain...
Crystal, this song's for you.
