I meet  you here,
breathing the air
we share
and I remember that we are one
affecting each other with our energy,
making me the more appreciative of your presence,
the beautiful gift of you.
So thank you for showing up
here in this life.
Thank you for letting me experience
what it’s like to be human,
with all its uncertainties, suffering, and pain.
We rise above the ashes
together
into joy and peace
reassured
that we are never alone.
