To give

Those that give and smile for giving,

Those that spread joy in turmoil

Those that laugh during misfortune, bring humour to those that fear for them

Them that comfort,

Them that speak words of wisdom

Them that stay awake with the concerns of others,

Them that stay quiet when needed

Them that endure the silence for love

Them that endure pain for peace

Them that suffer for fear of neglect

They are what you want,

They are what you need

They open your eyes

Their kindness softens your wounded hearts

Their journey keeps you intrigued

Her strength you don't understand

Her love is fragile

Her needs are great

Her life is crazy

Her room is a mess

Them that choose laughter

Them that hold on tight

They will smile and accept

Her touch is gentle

Her hope is light....
