For years I’ve honored this from our great Bard:
Love all. Trust a few. Do harm to
none.
Above all, I seem to trust you. It’s hard
sometimes. Yet when I watch your eyes, human
and beyond, hear your words, witness follow
through… I’ve read the great books, like you; held close
Aristotle’s care for phrases; allowed
More’s utopia, James’ call for faith; chose
to follow these with action…Yes, I’ll walk
this unknown path with you; pause and reach down,
grasp this fertile earth; listen and weigh talk;
value all we do together… show crowns
are signs of care... Sit with me
now. Watch streams
of stars above. Kiss me. Whisper your dreams.
