A Special Man Poem by Jenny Santiago

Life occasionally without emitting a single chime
Sends us people for a reason, a season, or a lifetime
They seem like they are a godsend, and that they are.
At the right moment, becoming your binary star.

None of them are ever just by chance
Some will move your soul to dance
Restoring within you calmness and peace
With the care and warmth of a beautiful fleece

All of this was given to me in the form of a special man
From the first conversation a beautiful friendship began
Graciously to me he opened his home
About this kind man I now write this poem

He showed me the breath taking beauty of the Cape
I now fondly refer to it as my place of the mountain grape
He thought me how to calm my mind
A peace so tranquil, truly rare to find

Holding dear words I speak,
Understanding my writing technique
Conversing about subjects close to the heart
Unlimited topics, a true a la carte

This poem is about my dearest friend, with heart so bright
Thank you for sharing with me your inner light
Reason, season or life time we do not know
To me you are as precious as a painting from van Gogh.
