The true gift

As I peer into the window of your mind,
I light the candle of hope searching for wisdom to find,
The flickering, flame of fiery torment,
becalmed, at one yet emotionally spent.

There are tears of joy and sadness in equal measure,
yet you light up the lives of others, a priceless treasure,
Who will repay the favour when you are the friend in need,
I will be here for you in spirit and body, a soulmate indeed.
