SUPPORT
January 17, 2000
beautiful dear friend...
and you were even there when I was gone
yours is a heart that rises above
to inspire me to carry on
you're touched by some spiritual love
that words could never quite express
to know you is to love you, love
to know you is to be blessed
you'll never get all you deserve
for you deserve more than exists
within you is a precious soul
and beauty that life can't resist
those who don't know you have missed out
on wonders only angels know
the child can touch the butterfly
the rain can make the flowers grow
a light that's brighter than the stars
a truth that's deeper than the sea
a friend I can always count on
this is what you mean to me
thank you Chloe... honest love, ric
