the glory that is Joan


 Joan, 

























I know you, at your heart.

And I am undone by how extraordinary you are,

as revealed through your being and your actions,

I do not know all of the battles you must fight

before you open yourself up to the world,

What I can see, though,

is a spirit that is as true to goodness 

as I can imagine a person being,

Thank you, thank you, for being who you are,

and being who you are so calmly, surely,

a least in appearance,

Devastating any of us you let close enough,


We can see the beauty you have

crafted, coalesced, 

built with your soul and with your choices,

From me, and on behalf of the universe,

thank you for who you are,

and for how well you have helped all you have touched

become better than we knew we could be

before you came into our lives.














































with all my love,

Henry, 9/10/25
