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 must be an exquisite woman. Enjoyed.

I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine

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.

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

I find your poem to be a very beautiful, sweet, and moving way to explain the nature of a woman!

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.
