A SHADOW FROM THE PAST
She dances through life
with a smile
a kind word
a gentle touch
a laugh that lightens
any dark day.
Eyes sparkle
strong hands
and effervescent presence
that bubbles
with pure glee.
She is
the joy you can count on
the strength you may lean on
the courage you may call upon
the wealth you may rely on.
So ...
when you see
one single tear
traipsing down her check
just remember
it is only
a shadow from the past
and in your light
it will fade away
to nothing.
