Oh, I just HAD to post this!

Due to my being a Drama Queen last night, someone wrote this very beautiful poem for me. I'm not editing anything because I'd like to preserve its "freshness." He sent me this exactly right after creating the draft. So yes, I'm Gracie...sometimes...he he...Please don't spread around as I don't really have his permission. It is, after all, still his poem. 

comfort

(written for gracie, right now)

then let me plant kisses
soft and tenderly
on the forehead of your soul
and brush away
loose strands
of errant laughing hair
from your dark
and exotic eyes

let me hold your soul
in the crook of my shoulder
and humm to it
soft notes
crooning tunes
ancient songs
long since learned
at my mothers knee

know now and know well
that no danger threatens
no clouds gather
that cannot be dismissed
through a brave smile
and steady friend
regardless of distance
or miles away
