Marilyn

You give me hope, humility, friendship, your time and attention.
You’re always approachable and amicable, no matter what.

You have every desirable and honourable attribute I wish to emulate;
You are even generous in displaying those traits to others.

If everybody were more like you, there’d be more patience & forgiveness.
Less broken promises, no more pushing the blame on others,
No more flaming. No hate.

Just love

Unbounded

Free

Putting others first

You taught me that it’s better to just praise what you love,
Than limit oneself to focusing on everything to be despised.

You see, what you chose to see.

You see artists, not art thieves
You see talent, not lazy artists
You see friends, not enemies

I thank you for that
