My Kindred Soul
There is an incredible man I know
Who means so much to me
We share a deep connection
A bond unknown to many
It all began when we were kids
Though neither realized
The effect it would have on both of us
Into our adult lives
One smile, one touch, two souls collided
Those butterflies turned to sparks
Attraction turned into first love
In that little town's Police park
Summer nights, snowball fights
Sweet kisses under the moon
Two carefree hearts were intertwined
When tragedy struck too soon
One fateful day, that boy's life changed
When death, it claimed his mother
How on earth was that young boy
Supposed to live without her?
Forced to cope, he grew up fast
Surrounded by family
I hoped and prayed he'd find his way
On my mind, he weighed heavily
For over the years I wondered
If he found means to soothe his pain
And if that loss had strengthened him
Though grief would still remain
My heart still ached with longing
Each time I thought of him
Until one day I saw those eyes
And our hearts joined once again
Thankfully, I saw he became
A strong and compassionate man
Today his sorrows comfort those
In ways no others can
I admire his resiliency
And his tenderness of heart
How blessed I am to feel his love
Just like from the very start
For the gift of time on earth is precious
We know not the hour, nor the day
And if one of us should leave this world
I know as kindred souls, we'll stay
