Reneé

As I write this My cheeks glisten, With tears of happiness and tranquility A smile on my face Inside I had collapsed I reached out for the last time And you took my hand Holding on tightly, determined to fight with me The warmth of your nature began to fight my sadness instantly Love and tenderness sparkling through your eyes Your heartfelt smile a silent expression of care And absolute understanding Your words have created a magical symphony A symphony of compassion and love Causing my enemy, pain to surrender And burying my will for self destruction Your perseverance and ceaseless time Have drawn out my whirlwind of emotions And your guidance, Has painted a rainbow of hope in my life My emotions had destroyed me The creators of the dead, desolate winter inside me But by the touch of your life on mine My heart and life saw the first blossoms of spring You are the reason for the beginning of my gradual transition From the fragile wings of a butterfly To the stable wings of an eagle, Soaring through life with a purpose My journey with you has been life changing Your constant support and encouragement have become my inspiration My inspiration to really live For this, I can never thank you enough You are truly an amazing blessing in my life As I carve your name into my heart with love, I realize that I have been touched by the grace of God Through a very special angel, You _ Ms van Rensburg Words cannot describe how much you have done for me and truly what a blessing it is to have you in my life. You have helped me in so many ways and have really made my life worthwhile again. You have instilled so much in me, and because of you, I am a better person. Thank you for your time, support, guidance and absolute understanding. I hope this poem gives you some idea on the magnitude of the difference which you have made in my life. You are so incredibly special to me! Tons of love Amy, ***
