honor and gratitude

today i offer you
honor and gratitude

for only through you
can i see the beauty
for only through you
Christ's vision
of simple truth is clear


through you in christ
i am forgiven
your sinlessness
is mine


i honor you this day
like a true brother
i beckon your lovliness


your Father created this
for only through you as Christ
i need not heed ego's
ensnaring trap


for without forgiveness
i would still be blind
and you my brother
taught me what it is
to forgive


and thine eyes shine
the clarity of Christ's eyes
and i look upon the world
with purpose


for i am healed completely
and i give thanks to you
i honor you this day


for this is the day of all days
my emerald green eyes
shine in glee
that a brother like you
gave me vision


from my heart....
i....honor "you" this day

dear patrick

i know the honor
you extend
as but the joy
and gratitude
of rediscovering
our true Self
the one
the only
son of god
