All That Light

I awoke to her smile and her blinding light 
when it came to heart and soul she was out of sight 
Shadows of trees bend over in effort to enlighten her 
but all they did was caress her cheek, for she could not incur 
As different as the stars and the moon, she was unique 
she heard sounds and things so loud they would yell not speak, 
she felt at the power of God's caress though others in stoic ways 
immersed her in chaos, as they served her only betrayals; 
Until she was identified by what made her different and quite sharp 
then at the cutting edge of life, she became a blessing a soft harp 
I awoke to her comment, I can feel her silent acceptance and smile 
Oh Julie Rodeheaver, you sure know how to write poetry in style
Take care and know that I appreciate you,   
but God loves you !!!!!!

written in honor of Julie Rodeheaver 
ps, I'm proud of you and who you are
