Savor The Minute. . .

Could we take the time
to savor this minute?
Hold it close?

There will be
more minutes, but none
more special than this one.

It tells me that
you treasure our friendship,
to show our true feelings

that connect us,
one to the other.
I will remember

the marks on my life
you put there when
you took the time to rescue

the self I thought I lost.
Today I am whole.
Forever drawn as a heart

beating steadily as
with an inserted pacemaker

but with gratitude transcending its beat.
