When I meet him one day ago I know him and he knows me

When I see him one week ago, we stand shoulder to shoulder, at ease

When I recall him one month ago I am happy, we smile

When months ago I reach out my hand and cry, we cry together

When years ago I am alone he is there, and I am lifted up

I am in need and he is there to share my burden

I can remember a lifetime of encounters with myself

I am filled with pride, he is proud of me

We find eachother and embrace, a healing hymn to heal ourselves
