the life outside sustains her
even though the life inside rebels
the life outside gives her strength
          gives her hope
                    gives her love
it carries her
     she has sought it her whole life

the life outside loves her
even though the life inside does not
the life outside gives her care
          gives her warmth
                    gives her peace
it holds her
     like nothing she has ever felt

the life outside enters her
and takes the place of the life inside
the life outside now fills her
          enters her heart
                    and heals her
it loves her
     and she loves it, the life outside

now
and always
            the life outside. . .

Ruth will never be a character...but a soul of great regard...her spirit always shines...I would like to call her "friend of mine..."

Sven,

Wonderful poem for a very special lady.  I must have missed this one before, but I am glad I found it now.
