So Long

​Why did it take so long
To understand
All that you have done
So many years
All my life
I am not the only one

Abundant gifts
Freedom, peace
Creativity, a helping hand
Harmony and joy
Peace and love
Life energy so grand

Turning thought tangible
Making things
Ideas become reality
The power you give
So much to appreciate
Recognized finally

In spirit we dwell
One part of whole
Guided by gentle signs
The path was clear
I knew at times
Finally did you I find

Sharing most of all
Building strong
Humble confidence you give
Accomplishment and rest
Community
For each other do we live

I am so glad
I see it now
One part of your big whole
With you I dwell
Made complete
Together in any role

Side by side
Within, without
Flowing all the time
Your healing grace
Forgiveness felt
The cycles do we ride
