Lately, Lord, I’ve been touched,
By some women of Your valor;
My heart, with grace, has been re-clutched,
For those exuding with much honor;
I don’t know why You’d let me see this;
I already know You’re good;
Do You wish to make my heart break with bliss?
Did it happen with You hanging on some wood?
O, Lord, I clearly see Your majesty,
In the most feminine of traits;
They are truly raised from carnal travesty,
To be taken through the pearly gates;
Noble1 is she who bears a joy divine,
Radiating from Your courts above;
She has seen how You are kind,
Rejoicing in Your love;
Samplette seems a lady o’ grace,
Revealed through her many writes;
She must write, seeing Your face;
Yes, she keeps You in her sights;
Pattyann holds Your gentle spirit,
I sense the kindness speaks of You;
Sure she blesses those coming near it,
To provoke praise; You’re so true;
Glenda seems to bask in virtue,
Given by Your gracious hand;
It glows alone with holy hue,
At does such by Your command;
Behold MamaB, of heavenly poise,
The essence that speaks of Christ;
Borne because she’s one of Your choice,
That she’d enjoy the Life;
Molassis is Your holy dove,
Wrought with wings of gold;
Declaring how to be borne above,
With truths borne from days o’ old;
Behold some facets of the Prince;
Give glory to the Royal Jewel;
This, His work, from the cross, since;
Gladly, each His tool;
Bless them, keep them, Lord,
In Your precious hand;
Protect them from the demon horde,
They seek to heed Your command;
Holy Father, please make Your love,
Their deep and great persuasion;
They are not separated from Jesus above,
Regardless of the situation;
I see, Lord, Your magnanimous will,
Your glory in their existence;
Before them, by You, I am so still,
And gladly such, in an instance.

It isn't a question of deserving but you are a blessing. Sorry but I'm not backing down on that one. You've been a great friend as well as an inspiration. So you belong on this list; even moreso, since I know you best of these all.
SO THERE!
Love, with blessings, sis;
