Through and Through

Through your photographs, 

I ‘get’ your picture. 

Through your songs, 

I ‘hear’ your verse.

Through your words, 

I ‘know’ your story.

Through your scars, 

I ‘feel’ your pain.

Through your smile,

I ‘sense’ your sadness.

Through your eyes,

I ‘read’ your soul.

Through your creative mind,

I ‘discover’ your magic.

Through your compassion,

I ‘admire’ your character.

Through your thoughtfulness,

I ‘detect’ your goodness.

Through your generosity,

 I ‘recognize’ your selflessness.

Through your tender heart,

I ‘embrace’ your beauty.

Through ALL that you are,

I ‘believe’ in your existence.

Through all of life’s simplicity,

I ‘treasure’ your friendship.

Through all your good days, and,

Through all your bad ones...

I ‘appreciate’ you.
