She colored my world in shades of hope
Shining light through the darkness
Caressing those shimmering dreams
With appreciation of me, my vision
All the pieces of me that sought freedom
To dance through this world with passion
Inspiration and enthusiasm to desire
Sparks of joy, insight and beauty
All the glories of knowing my longings
Were worthy of the time I placed in them
She was wise beyond her years, with prudence
Flaming excitement and thrills through the
Horizon of faith in His grace and the soothing
Comforts of a God who knows that I am one
Who loves unconditionally, with sensitivity
And assurance that love is the answer to pain
The remedy for sorrow and all that gives my
Prayers the blessing of responses that are aware
True delight comes down from the God of heaven
Who answers our prayers with solutions that resonate
With clarification, wonder and discernment
She breathed kindness into my spirit from her
Gentle aura of feelings, opinions and ideas
Which taught me the beauty in all that brings calm
All that loves with assurance and confidence
Whispers of elation drift through the air around her
Bringing with them softest silence, hints of affection
Drawing me to them like a magnet draws the iron
Wishes for compassionate revelations incite my heart
Through intimacy with the Creator, the Lover of my soul
The One who knows me better than my own heart could
God, who my mama taught me about until I understood
His love is the love that could reach beyond the doubts
That left me wanting, into the soul of promise, solace
Where reflections of meaningful instruction assure me
That I am someone who knows His truth will be my peace
With God, serenity releases me from the desire to be
Anything but the woman my mama knew I could be
The woman who loves, lives and longs for the best blessings
God sends to those who give their lives to Him
The One who is the supplier of both love and passion!
