Transcript

You shake my world.

Make me question the core foundations of my life.

Those that kept me standing,

Going on and on.

You shake my world,

Make me wonder what love truly is.

Unconditional,

As I believed,

Or actually a two-person's job.

You shake my world.

With your love for me,

Your genuine interest in who I truly am.

Embracing me in fullest.

You shake my world by simply being you.

Your mind,

Your heart,

Your being.

I love you so.

And I transform by loving you.

You shake my world.

Every ripple brings me more alive and feeling.

That's your gift to me.

Feeling on and feeling true.

You keep on shaking.

Keep on loving me.

The more we grow close,

Deeper in each other's soul,

The deeper I become more of me.

Whew this one stopped me
in my tracks as I rake fallen leaves
I'm sending it to my niece
her love for her family is unbounded.
She loves her Auntie and keeps surprising
me with her abilities, energy, intelligence
and passions.
Thank you my Sister
for this beautiful piece.
