A Perfect Poem!

I'm not sure if people read the comments so I want to place the poem that Petra sent today here also.
I find it to be touchingly appropriate. 


But (Aber)- Erich Fried

At first I fell in love
with the brightness of your eyes
with your laugh
with your joy in life

Now I love your weeping too
and your fear of life
and the helplessness
in your eyes

But I will help you
with your fear
for my joy in life
is still the brightness of your eyes
