She shines
Even though it's night
She shines
And the power
          of her light
Shows like the sun
Like her there is none

She shines
To all without hope
She shines
And throwing to
          them a rope
She brings them in
Giving peace within

She shines
To those gathered here
She shines
And she banishes
          their fear
Giving them sleep
Their dreams she will keep

She shines
Our Marina Light
She shines
And she guides our
          souls to flight
Sharing her love
Sent from up above

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Ahh Sven, a beautiful poem for Marina.  It has touched me very deeply, and it wasn't even written for me, so I can imagine how good it makes her feel.  You are so talented and kind hearted, my friend  

Take care,
