Who am I, but I have always loved you
by Dan KastenWho am I, but
I have always loved you
your gentle touch for blackened eyes
ears for the hurting and prayers for the muffled
you create wisdom for those unknowing
and laughter for those who have forgotten the sounds of children
in our weakest moments
you have shown me nothing but kindness
in our strongest moments
you have helped me discover how other paths matter
taking the time to be patient and to tolerate failure
allowing me the opportunity to cement a thought that
in years forward with grey season waxing and vision poor
I will find you by the scent of your compassion for me
for that I am most appreciative and in awe of who you are
because you have made me who I am
who am I, but
I have always loved you. 02/14/2008 Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day
