Ode to a friend

Some people change the world.
Aggresively, even loudly.
Then there are those
who don't shout from pulpits
Rather, they creep into your lives
and hearts with stealthy step


Till their wisdom is your guide
Till their passion runs through your veins
Till your eyes dance with the vision
of a future that seems possible
Simply because they are here.

To these enablers of dreams,
These finders of god in places
That I never knew to look
My eternal gratitude

For your life of which you freely give
For your love for a world
that has yet to measure up.

beautiful poem on so many levels. it could be about you and addressed to you as much as you address it to your cadre of inspirational friends. you have my gratitude for exemplifying the qualities for which you are grateful to others.
