A Treasure

When I think of you dear Marcia
I hear laughter in the air
A sound that’s so contagious
You cannot help but share.

I see a warm sweet smile
Ever present on your face
Emitting such a glow
Your heart to embrace.

Your voice so kind and gentle
The care taken with words you speak
No harshness or cruelty from you
Of this I find unique.

A heart full of compassion
Hugs available when happy or sad 
Listening but not judgmental
Such a treasure to be had.

Happiness and health my wish for you
As this new chapter in your life begins 
I will miss you very much
And my heart you’ll stay within.

What a lovely poem. Marcia sounds like a wonderful person! It is uplifting that you took the time to express your feelings about her by writing these beautiful words. We could all take a leaf from your book in learning to tell our loved ones how much we appreciate and admire them a little more often.
