connecting with culture - thanks to you
It's hard to accept
when people do good
things for you
with no strings attached.
It's easier, maybe,
when you believe
you'd be the first
to do the same -
or at least, you'd like
to think you would.
It's not always possible
to reciprocate
the extravagance of
a real sacrifice; but then, you
died so that I wouldn't have to,
and the best way I can
possibly show how
grateful I am is to
choose to live
for you, with you
and always
thanks
to you,
my friend.
The most incredible
thing is that you've never
acted like you have a
Cross to bear.
