She Truly Walks in Beauty

Dedicated to Terri

Raven hair and turquoise eyes
a smile that is subtly knowing
mysterious, angelic, wise
always keeping something from showing

Friend to all; a musical soul
gently loving and persuading
the broken heart back to whole
whilst dancing and never invading

Personal bounds of those she loves
behind the scenes she thrives
an instrument in hands from Above
she has touched countless lives

She truly walks in beauty
this woman, sister, and friend
never shirking her duty
she stands tall and firm through the bitter end.

No blame is needed but much praise
for she is a blessing and a treasure
whom her mortal and heavenly parents do raise
in light, in love, and with eternal pleasure.
