Me...Myself and I

Who am I? Who are You?
I am the bird in flight...flying overhead... I am the sun shining down and warming you... I am the voice you hear when the clouds turn gray and the hand you hold when you've lost your way...And though you've forgotten me...even now I am with you as you read this rhyme....loving you for all time...
Peering into your eyes...feeling your heartbeat...thinking thoughts of you...and I am so pleased-so pleased that you are exactly who you are...That is enough...You are magnificent! Today, Just know that you are divine...Know that your so-called flaws pale in comparision to your greatness...You may have lost your wings...but even now you soar...and I am the wind beneath you...keeping you from falling into an abyss of despair...
Do you have any idea who you really are? Do you have any idea of your effect on others, on me? Do you know what it's like to be touched by you? To be held in your arms? To be smiled at by you...to look into your eyes? Do you know what it's like to see you approaching....know you are near? Do you know what it's like to watch you walk away...and know you won't be coming back? Do you know what it does for someone when they realize that you've been thinking of them...remembering...rereading?
No, you don't...Kind of sad...Your insights...strength...courage...and humility change lives everyday and you don't even know it...It's especially sad because those you touch think you do...so they might not remind you...
Since you don't know it and since others may not tell you...let me...
You are a light in the darkness-a bringer of the dawn...Your touch heals...your gaze inspires...and your smile is like cool water to parched lips...The sight of you stirs one's spirit...and your departure was too soon...Your profoundly unique journey has been one-of-a kind...and it has yielded compassion and insights as rare as yourself-gifts that sparkle like diamonds in the sun...
Your effect on the world today...as you are...where you are...is awesome...if you but knew it...
Shine your light because...while your significance may sometimes escape you...it changes others forever...I know...because it did me...
