Abby

Abby
For a friend with a big heart.

In a world that sometimes dims its light,
Abby shines with something bright
A gentleness that lifts the air,
A heart so wide, so strong, so rare.
She threads her kindness through each day,
In little gestures, words she'll say,
Remembering what others need, 
Sowing hope with quiet deed.
Her laughter lingers, soft and warm,
A beacon through the raging storm;
For Abby's heart was forged by fire,
By hardships life did not retire.
She's seen the nights that have no end,
Felt the ache that will not bend,
But found in sorrow seeds of grace,
Resilience shining in her face.
She does not hide from where she's been,
But grows a garden deep within,
Where gratitude and lessons bloom,
Dispelling shadows, chasing gloom.
A flickering solace in the night.
Shelves of stories, ticket stubs,
Her spirit dances in their clubs.
She watches credits to the last,
Finds meaning in each story past,
Lives a thousand lives through art,
Letting every film touch her heart.
Through every scene, each story's part,
She holds the films close to her heart.
Yet amid these joys, a simple treat-
A cup from HteaO, icy and sweet-
Brings sunshine to her every day,
Shared with friends along the way.
A volunteer, a steadfast friend,
Her empathy will never end-
A birthday cake, a helping hand,
She's always there to understand.
Yet brave is she, her spirit clear,
She stands for love and draws us near;
Her courage quiet, steady, true,
Inspires all she meets anew.
She treasures every simple joy:
A cup of tea, a whispered ploy
Of sunlight dancing in the trees,
The hush of snowfall on the breeze.
A quote when you are feeling low,
A silent hand when tears must flow,
She celebrates the best in you,
Her faith in kindness shining through.
Abby's story still unfolds,
Each day another page she holds.
A legacy of hope and grace-
A gentle smile, a warm embrace.
Though she may never see the way
Her kindness colors every day,
Those who know her will agree:
Abby's heart is poetry.
