For You

For You I Shall Offer (By: Kim Fahner)

Some ancient Irish proverb,
paraphrased by a modern
who lived in Waterford,
rang in my head:

I shall offer
one beat of my heart
(each day)
for your happiness.

One breath,
one heartbeat,
each day,
for the sake of
some other one
who is not yet
a part of me.
