It makes a half-stitched scar
That can be broken and again you feel
Grief as total as in its first hour.

“you've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
for your kindness I'm in debt to you
for your selflessness, my admiration
and for everything you've done
you know I'm bound…
I'm bound to thank you for it”
