You first see her eyes, so dark and intense,
A loveliness singular, a heart satiated;
Sister won by Him, no sitting on a fence,
Gladly for His will, in Him she’s fated.
With playful wit, of childlike abandon,
Banter with glee, a glow from the sun;
She jabs at my heart, but only for fun,
Plays games with my name, all on a run.
A soul without age, beaming with joy,
Timelessly laughing, loving her life;
Loving sports of all kinds, just like a boy,
One would not know, if she’s in strife.
She loves many types of musical forms,
Rock, jazz, or bluegrass, you’ll see;
There’s not many where her heart’s not warmed,
Just give her a tune, upon which she’s free.
A friend to a fault, to many of us,
She’ll talk with you, just for the knowing;
Spend time with her, and rise from the dust,
Gain her as friend, a blessing growing.
We’re blessed to know her, a time that is precious,
Her smile is His art, drawn by the Son;
Just moments with her, are those that refreshes,
I thank the Lord, in Him she’s won.
Take this my sis, my vision of you,
One friend to another, words that are due;
Apart from my glib, this write is true,
And know of my joy, in knowing you.

Julie's comment on the poem:
"Thank you so much for the poem. Precious, it is. And a blessing it is to have you as a friend. I must say though, one line in there was curious...'...just like a boy one would not know if she's in strife' hhhhmmmmm
Have a good day,
J"
So I explained to her the meaning of that stanza.

She should be reading it this morning, as I write this. Like I said above, I wish I could be there for her to read this.

Thanks, Mbrace...I still don't understand. This is such a great mystery to me. But then, I do the same thing with the Lord, even moreso...Hmmm...
She'll get a copy of this tomorrow, when she goes into work and reads her email. I only wish I could be there to see her expression when she reads it. I do really care for her. -

As always, Davine , your comments are a blessing in themselves. I especially appreciate you mention my having a knack with writing a poem of dedication to a particular individual, since I am most aware of a challenge in relating to others. Thanks so much for that!

Wow! So great!
My gosh, that was so beautiful. So sweet. A truly perfect write. I could ramble and ramble, but it just would take away from your poem. This was lovely, your friend will adore it! Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
