"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853
Gentle whispers of a soft embrace
Fills my mind with a sense of peace
She was such a breath of inspiration
Soothing, smiling, enchanting me
With her enthusiasm for life and living
Giving all that she might imagine
With feeling that healed my worst pain
Left me dancing to the wind’s music
In a mystical caress of her persona
She was the one I call my mother
~
Ripples of color like a kaleidoscope
Surrounding me with warmth and grace
Coloring the world gentle hues of amber
Crimson red with brilliant lilac and mauve
Passionate shades of mystery and secrets
Dazzling the nights with bits of starlight
Beckoning to me on the wings of butterflies
That touch down against her velvety petals
Miracles with beauty only God could inspire
She is my charming, fragile little grandmother
~
Promising strength, wisdom and reassurance
Enveloping me in arms of fierce approval
Summoning the heart to believe and achieve
To listen to the breathes of musical dreams
Built on faith, acceptance and true creativity
That only comes to those who listen to the heart
Heed the sweet expressions of devotion, dedication
To the visions that impress souls to trust God
And imagine what it will be like in heaven
Where loving, honest woman like my aunt will go
~
Women, so many, so alive with intense charms
Welcoming me to listen to the thoughts they held
The dreams that filled their lives with inspiration
And the ideas that kept them surviving situations
That were painful, worrisome and filled with anger
These women were the ones who made me who I am
They taught me to dream, to believe and to love
Unconditionally and with all my heart and being
They helped me to heal from the worst I imagined
Finding beauty in moments I shall treasure forever
~
These women inspired me to write these words
Prompting my heart to be grateful for those
Women I’ve been blessed with in my lifetime
With a feminine touch upon my heart and mind
I’ve discovered the wonder to last throughout time
Hypnotic and attractive, a woman’s persona!
I’ll always be grateful for the women I’ve known
They are pearls of great worth, jewels of gold
To be appreciated and cared for with a gentle
Spirit of appreciation for their amazing femininity
