Every Feather Earned
Life never handed her brocades
no silver lining accolades
Diligence, her saving grace
dreams and faith interlaced
She would know the deepest loss
become the one to fight the cause
Sheltering the brokenhearted
the lost, lonely, and discarded
Her loving choice to enfold
seeing the goodness in every soul
Each fiber of her very essence
weaved with humble reminiscence
Though she never sought recognition
may Creator know my appreciation
For angels and sisters, one in the same
born as one and the second became
