Grow Love Grow

A small tear drops
expressing the depth
of emotion to be known
you bring to my heart
each treasure, each piece of gold
you, you and you, jewels and gems to behold
as the life, our stories, unfold
love shared is consoled

You inspire in me
that which I AM
knowing my heart
the depths of my soul
in its pains and sorrows shared
you show me that you cared
and listened to the stories I aired
how could I continue to be scared

A privilege it is
to be here with you all
doing life together
how can any of us fall
arm in arm we will go
even though the way be slow
friendship's warm-wind will blow
feeling the love grow
