Shine On, Andrea, Shine On

Shine on, Andrea, shine on
keep that youthful heart
and spread that love

Your words speak--
better yet, they dance
straight to your readers' hearts

You glow
with a beauty that starts
from within,
so lucky are those who
get touched by that light

May that fire in your soul
never burn out...
Shine on, Andrea, shine on!

I couldn't agree more Nikko. I hope you post this at PFT also. Andrea and her poetry are inspiration for so many of us, especially me. You created a lovely tribute for her. Mahalo, Connie
