As the dawn breaks over the ice-covered trees, their leaves sill blanketing the ground, I want you all to know.
That your worn hands teaching mine have been a better education than anyone could ask. That your full, babyish lips on my cheeks bring tears to my eyes too often now, because I know they won’t do that for long. That i have not had a good cry in three months, any now I feel as though that might be the only thing to make me feel better but it has come at the cost of us. That your voices have carried me but our hearts haven’t known each other, not yet. That you have begun to grow in my heart, steadily, quietly, and i feel you will always be there, That no one will ever have this same talent of making me feel so at home without going anywhere, and being so known and loved in the silence of a friend. That I love you so very dearly, always will, and won’t ever stop thanking Jesus for his love to me through you.
