QUOTE:
ATHENS
6 Oct 2006
To Steens
Not just the sweetness of the words you say to me
Your body's warming touch each day for me
The way you keep the world at bay for me
Give me the reason to come home.
Or the strength I feel the times you pray for me
Or tears of laughter when you play with me
Or whispered words that save the day for me
So I don't feel alone
Nor just the numbing work you do for me
Devoted years of effort true to me
Shared thoughts and feelings passing through to me
While our life's mystery has grown
But all these things that mean the world to me
A magic banner full of love unfurled to me
The miracle which brought this girl to me
Are why today I write this poem.
