Daniel Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

How can I tell you I love you?
There's so many ways.
You are faithful.
You are kind.
You're usually playful and
send Patches to find.
You are smart and handsome.
You are determined and strong.
You have dreams and they
need fulfilling.
Your smile is contageous.
Your laugh is too.
You've suffered losses and
not just a few.
You've been mistreated.
You've been misunderstood.
You've had good intentions.
You know what is good.
You probably wonder when
will things change?
Time will help you over the years.
Just don't stop doing right
when everything in you screams
to go against tradition.
You are very, very important to me.
Don't fight what you're meant to be.
Daniel, I love you. Don't ever
forget that.
Be thankful for the LITTLE things.
