this is a tribute that is long over due
this is a tribute especially for you
such a remarkable spirit you possess
and this poem i could no longer suppress
you are so very special to me
and i'm honored that you'd feel so free
to lend any part of your sacred self
allowing me to know such wealth
not everyone is blessed the same
not everyone can lay a claim
to being as splendid as you are
in or out, up or down, near or far
your spirit transcends every barrier
flowing gently and you are its carrier
seeping through the pores of life
unencumbered, removing strife
allowing those you choose to touch
the pleasure of their own sweet rush
as your marrow moves through them
reading thoughts inked from your pen
you've given strength, not ever knowing
before that moment weakness was growing
you build me up and make me strong
because of you i wrote this song
this is a tribute that is long over due
this is a tribute especially for you
such a remarkable spirit you possess
