It is so precious to have someone
Care about me
When you rebuke, I may not like it
I may not even do what you said.
But I realize you love me
You care about my life.
When it comes to my life
I have to live it
With my decisions
And its consequences.
I know what you said
I understood what it meant
Thank you for being there
I am happy that you are there
I am grateful for your help
It is precious to have you there.

Living a life
True to heart’s purpose
Means tending to awareness
At unmmeasurable levels.
Easily buried – alive, unless we strike a clear course
For sustained breath in the midst of pollution.
