EVERY TIME I WRITE A POEM IT ALWAYS BEGINS AND ENDS ABOUT YOU
Maybe it’s because there’s never been anyone
more compelling than you since our first embrace
67 years ago. Your smile shed a divine light like a
diamond in the night sky pointing the way for me
to swim over perilous waters to surround you with
adoration. Your aliveness, curiosity and sense of
presence showed me how pay attention to the wonder
in everything, and how to celebrate each day as if it was
a Lalapalooza—written, directed and produced by you for me.
