You!



You

Sometimes,
the emotion I feel for the people in my life,
both far away and near,
wells up
high and deep.
It is so great a thing,
no expression seems big enough
to hold it all.

No expression -
physical verbal animal vegetable or mineral -
has that power.
Love.
The word is inadequate to the task.

Overwhelming and joyous,
all this feeling threatens to burst out,
and splatter unruly sentiment
across the faces I hold dear.

It is you who does this to me.
Yes,
you!

Glad you like it, Kay. I did mean YOU, after all.
