The Honour of Knowing You

Give me your testimony and speak your words to me,

I will hear your voice and reaffirm your truths

You are the person I strive to be like,

brave and true and kind and free of malice

Should you ever falter, look to the stars and know 

that I reside there, with them

And like those burning beacons I shall shower you

in a liberating light,

I shall remind you of what you can be

For in the shadows, where you go in misery,

you will have no friend fonder than me

Never shall I leave you, companion, for your draw

is just too strong

Know that every lonely step, every tragic tear,

will be my burden too   because

I have no honour greater than this,

the honour of knowing you

(Dedicated to Y)
