it occurred to me
last night
who you are
what it is I recognize
in me
and your friends
and family
when we’re all
sitting or talking
or working
or eating together
or riding along
or marching around
on some adventure
there are
certain movies
that make us all
gooey eyed
because of some
character
whose generosity
quiet strength
and creativity to
make us happy
is too good to be true
which we all take in
because we need to
and cheer on
hoping for
a happy ending
and that’s you
