To say that without you, I'd be
The same as now, is not quite true.
To say it blunt and clear for all,
There'd be no me if not for you.
There'd be no roof above my head.
I'd live in nature, like a gnome.
136 is just a place,
So thanks for making it my home.
I hide away and live alone,
Afraid to draw the curtains back.
But there is no hiding from you,
Unless I wanna get a smack.
The one light constant through the years.
Your quiet kindness through my tears.
The one heart that still perseveres.
And somehow calms my deepest fears.
You've had hard times, it's safe to say.
The difficulties you've been through.
And yet, you're always there for all.
Spreading love is what you do.
When K was asking you for funds,
And your account was close to nil.
I saw that sadness in your eyes,
"If I don't help, then who else will?"
It's not your job to fix the world,
And yet you do it with such grace.
As if ordained by God himself.
A beacon in the darkest place.
You somehow still found time for me.
You saw my fears and dragged me free.
I'm thankful, beyond joy and glee.
In ways too vast for poetry.
The few good deeds I've done for you,
Are trivial at best.
A very easy price to pay,
To know that I am blessed.
When J needs help with all their mess,
As they can't see the floor.
You're already in full game face,
By the time you've touched the door.
You're the capstone and foundation.
Last to leave and first to show.
The words I need to thank you,
I can't find, nor ever know.
Your fire burns forever bright,
But sadness comes to hog the light.
I fear the days you're out of sight.
The warmth that holds me close at night.
I see the good you do the world,
Despite the costs you pay.
It gives me hope as I strive on,
To match your acts one day.
I feel your generosity,
In simple acts I do.
That part of me that reaches out,
Is all because of you.
You reach beyond my senses,
With the care that's in your voice.
I feel the love you always spread.
I mimic it by choice.
Within the man, you helped repair.
Within the deeds, I hope to share.
I see the truth of what is there.
Your inspiration. Everywhere.
