for your journey

take this thought that i fill with every ounce
of love and devotion, of care and intention,
of intensity and affection, of passion and peace,
take this thought that i fill with every second
of time that i miss, of time that i remember
of time that i dream, of time that i still have,
take this thought and let it linger
let it stand alone against the winds
watch as it fights--watch as it fights
for this thought will never leave your side
take this thought, and know you are safe
you are strong
you are loved
