A World Aglow

Her bedroom was painted a cheery yellow
The paint reflecting her charms
She disarmed the gloomy mornings,
and filled each dawn with sun 

As days went by, and as she grew
The sun would follow too
It seemed to fill her attitude,  as gold within her soul

Born to lift spirits, there burned a flame
To warm the coldest heart
Her eyes would shine, like yellow stars,
To twinkle in their mirth

A gentle touch, a quiet way, as soft as yellow rose
It is no surprise, the day would come, when she became a mom
With radiant pose, she's all aglow, and bends to kiss his toes

We watch him grow, he lights her life, and though he does not know...
he lights my own, the sun....the moon, 
who shines the world, aglow

wonderful, Carrie, and the way you took it and made it into a tribute. I wish the HM's were on the regular list. I have yet to see the last ones but I bet they are pretty!
