To the men in my life

edward in box2

There’s room for you here —
There’s room for that way you walk,
all business and purpose,
room for your boyish confidence
and your sweetness
and how you desire to trust deeply,
There’s room for your enthusiasm
and your eager joining in

The boy in you
who never grows up
will win the day every time
because he is ever willing
to give his whole large heart
for the rush of joy
in having it received.
