For bruno's birthday

[fpb]

What though the night be dark, the skies be moonless,
The forest tangled, and the path o’ergrown?
No-one reaches your age intact and woundless;
But those who matter know to carry on.

You hurt, grimace, and cry? You still are strong;
For strength’s not marble, not untouched above.
Strength prays and suffers, weeps and still lasts long
Strength bears and wrestles, for she knows she’s love.

Beautiful. I wish I could say more but you've left me speechless. A state I rarely am at and would like to thank you for it^^
