I Love You All!

To All of My Absent Friends

Every third thought is of you:
Two days in the tomb,
And then a quiet, sweet, life blows warm over the waters.

You are my saddest, deepest, lightest love:
Yours has been the easiest yoke,
You who I barely knew.
What a joy for me, to be known by you at all.

We have a relationship (that cold modern term).
But, praise God, it died to live in us.
I know that you love me.
The proof is that I cannot see you.

13 of your 15 posts have an exclamation in the title. Why not "Camp Weekend!" or "Of The Finest Vintage!"?
p.s. I love you too
