Ernestine
An inner beauty that never fades,
is what to others you display.
Never diverse in degrees or grades,
But unchanging throughout each day.
Your inner thoughts a smile betrays,
And heart oft dangles from your sleeve.
You radiate rooms with luminous rays,
While in quietness, in others, you believe.
You weep & pray for others from concern
Bestowing upon many without thought of self.
Not cherishing life's goods, that burn,
A godsend in ways that are often stealth.
No pretenses have you made of being more,
Than your Creator intended you to be.
Love of my life, whom I'll always adore,
I thank God that you were saved for me.
