the greatest gift

gifts of the heart are the greatest gifts

for life without love is like the seas without wet

the clouds without sky, and the sky without blue


of everything i've ever been given,

nothing is greater than having met you

i thank whatever unknowable forces

coordinated our coming together


from harvard and terrace

to bali, spain, and family

the blessings we have

are innumerable

and more valuable

than diamonds,

and pearls,

and gold


so many float adrift

with struggles, uncertainty,

and loneliness


thankfully there is you

thankfully there is me

thankfully there is us

thankfully there is family

thankfully there are friends


of all of the lives

i could have lived

i am glad to be living

this one with you
