Maria, your voice, a gentle guide,
In the darkest of hours, you're by my side.
With every word, a soothing balm,
You ease my storm, restore my calm.
Your kindness flows like a healing stream,
In your care, I dare to dream.
Compassionate heart, always near,
You listen close, you truly hear.
Through every struggle, every fight,
You bring me back into the light.
Empathy wrapped in warm embrace,
In your presence, I find my place.
One of a kind, you're heaven-sent,
Maria, my guide, my firmament.
