From Afar

Although I have not wealth nor fame
Nor conquests to which I lay claim
My life just wouldn't be the same
Without the gift of your love

I'm not the man with whom you stand
And I'm not the one holding your hand
But if there's one thing I understand
I'm blessed by the gift of your love

I've weathered hard winds
And heavy rains torrential
Serenely absorbed the Sun's
Sustaining energy essential
'Til Eve and her Moon full
Of promise and potential
Brings a bold portent for some
Brighter, better days to come

One single thought as
My tears start their dance
A prayer of gratitude
For being given this chance
Because whether or not
There will blossom romance
At least I can love you
And yes, I do love you
At least I can love you from afar

Daniel James Hennell, 2008
