Amazing Amera

Missing image

              Hushed the night while newborns sleep

              An angel's vigil nearby keeps

              Watching always her babes nearby

               Listening alertly to hear their cry.

 

 

 

 

 

               Gentle voice in kindly ways

               Where'er she goes, her peace it stays

                Always caring she makes her rounds

                Leaving refreshed all she's found.

 

 

 

 

 

                All respond  to love she gives

                How many little ones she's helped to live!

                Contrasts in her life each day

                 Shows that she finds other ways

 

 

 

 

 

                  To touch  other's lives with words

                  From her heart to pen, encourage

                  Lives from inner beauty find

                  Solace for the soul and mind!

 

.

 

                  A poet true we have discovered

                  A lady of form like no other!

                  Amazing in her mastery

                  Of polymaths and poetry!

 

 

 

                     Of great privelege I have known

                      To call her niece, for she is my own

                      A friend that's true, loving and kind

                       Dear Amera, dear, a gem to find!

    She is a beauty indeed our dear Amera, there are few with talent such as she has and how we all wish a little more of her talent would rub off on us all. So well penned from the heart. Best to you in the contest

    wow!!
    another absolutely stunning piece of writing! This is really just amazing and very beautifully written. You have an extraordinary gift for writing. My favorite stanza was:

    Of great privelege I have known

    To call her niece, for she is my own

    A friend that's true, loving and kind

    Dear Amera, dear, a gem to find!

    Yes Rose

    Poetry is a gif but so is the heart a gift and when one makes sacrifices to care for others then that is the greater of all gifts. A wonderful dedication to a fne person Rose.
