Your words are like a pin prick
they draw blood in measured ways.
They speak so wonderfully
while brightening up my days.
You have a way about you
which squeezes juices to a drip
Each one I am privileged to see
appear to dangle off your lip.
Your passion invites excitement
stirring up merriment as you go
and no matter what the topic
you seem always in the know.
I can see your face smile
even from a distant thought
and always crave your words
for the pleasures they've brought.
I'll write of your treatment
the tests you know so well
those pin pricks of delight
which opens up to a swell.
Even when I am not steady
of mind or spirit's blend
I have learned to count on you
for all the comfort you send.
Don't let me down, ever
I'm needing to have your flavor
Each pin prick you send
is but a lovely joy to savor.
