She’s a smile in the rain, she’s the sun on the rise She’s a heavenly angel in mortal disguise, She is birdsong on evenings when time is stood still She is sacred and pure, like a prayer on a hill, She bears wisdom and patience of every degree And her thoughts reach much further than eyesight can see, She’s the stillness of dawn and the first breath of day And her kiss takes the pain of her children away. She bears loads with the ease of a whispering breeze And she’s so aware of the moments to seize From the mixture of life she is moulded and cast Like a pure figurine of her future and past, She touches the air with such delicacy That there’s barely a ripple upon life’s tired sea, And she sleeps on a ribbon of silken refrain Like a song in the night that drifts closer again. She bears tears with the grace of a silver soft stream And her soul holds much more that a wish and a dream, She is wondrous contentment and happiness plied In her everything lives, and no good things have died, In her heart there’s no room for dark negative thought It’s a butterfly Dream Catcher heaven has wrought And the smile in her eyes drifting gently above Is a mirror reflecting a woman of love… |

She bears tears with the grace of a silver soft stream And her soul holds much more than a wish and a dream, Welcome to Passions in Poetry. I really enjoyed your beautiful tribute to this wondrous earthly, yet heavenly creature. Margherita |

Woman. A complex. sometimes unsettled in reality because of her duties to her family. To cast woman in such an absolute favorable light was a pure joy for me to read, and she deserves every line of adoration you have given her. I applaud you. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Showing the positive sides of most mothers and a lot of caring women. Many great women have earned this beautiful tribute, I have been honored to have met many. But my inert honesty has to say that this is not how we see all Women as a whole.I love your writing and the beautiful fantasy you write about. Best to you,Jo Perry |

You must know such a kind of woman to make you write this in dedication to her. I'm sure if she is real to you. she will be very pleased to read this. Lovely write. |

Rhyme and rhythm: splendour in the grass! I guess that you love this lady? You've given her something special here. Just one point: last stanza, second line: 'than' not 'that'. I'd never mention it normally, but perfection catches the eye, and the head. |
