if I could but bottle your sweet words of love
their nectar to taste, time and again
no longer more would I be afraid
filled eternal of strength from a friend

for your touch to linger evermore
from your fingers to deep in my heart
shall envelop and carry me safely
never again, will we be apart

were your smile always before me
a beacon, to show me the way
I'd never lose faith in my journey
each new step...a beautiful day

hope and happiness, hand in hand
will ever grow when I am with you
for around this world, in every land
is fierce love and spirit that's true

I am so grateful that I got to meet you
and felt the essence of you to be found
for I'm a better man now and forever
by just knowing that you are around

thank you...hedi
