Silver Anniversary Present - Pearls Necklace - For You Poem by Wei Chao

Had the world of us, if not in peace,
Had our minds, if not of empathy,
Had our love, if not of affection,
Had our marriage, if not of respect,
Had we feel, when away, not longing,
Had we get, if not satisfaction,

It is of all kinds... satisfaction,
It's of our state of mind being in peace,
It's of our valued mutual respect,
It's of us, we're, each other, longing,
It's of our two-way street empathy,
It's of our everlasting affection,

If we weren't to have steady affection,
If we weren't to get satisfaction,
If we weren't feeling constant longing,
If we weren't permeated empathy,
If we weren't building and keeping peace,
If we weren't to have common respect,

It's natural … foundational respect,
It's natural lure... pulls endless affection,
It's natural … effortless empathy,
It's natural... you make me sleep in peace,
It's natural... simply... satisfaction,
It's natural … you're off sight...feel longing,

Being not with you … I always feel longing,
Being in my arms … way more than respect,
Being in your arms … my mind is in peace,
Being in your limbs … full satisfaction,
Being thinking of you … with affection,
Being with you... there's instinct empathy,

Flesh and blood … we care … our empathy,
Flesh and blood … we care … cherish longing,
Flesh and blood … we care … satisfaction,
Flesh and blood … we care … our affection,
Flesh and blood … we care … mutual respect,
Flesh and blood … we care … to protect peace,

Pearls mean: our … values... peace, empathy;
Priceless love … affection, respect;
Connection … longing, satisfaction.
