a life in words

light

thank you for still knowing me, 

for still knowing that feeling known is one of my favorite things, 

and that i need to be reminded of it most days, 

thank you for not questioning my heart, 

even when i don't make sense a lot, 

but instead somehow end up sending me my favorite psalm, 

thank you for sticking with me after everything, 

i never had to go to war to keep you, 

instead you promised to stick with me like gum on my shoe, 

and on the days i start to feel the most alone, 

you somehow still know how to be the sun, 

and your nickname makes a lot of sense on these days, 

thank you knowing i need brightness and light in my life,

because sometimes i make it too dark than i meant, 

too dark to find the light switch, 

but thank you for always being willing to guide my hand, 

and then to dance in the light with me.
