I stand firm

I was walking in my Park

Surrounded by the Trees

When I felt your Presence

Running through my Legs

Up to my Arms and Shoulders

As Shivers of Joy and Delight

Just like the Pure Pleasure that

The Fresh Breeze and the Warm Sun

Give Me on a Late Summer Saturday

You are Nature, my Friend; and so am I

And the Brave Sequoia which stands Tall

As a Link between the Earth and the Sky

Reminds Me of your Precious Words

Whatever the Hell happens in my Life

I stand Firm, Proud and True to Myself

To YOU

Vera da Pozzo
