A joy inside does make one weep
Such tears that feed this life’s reward
From human gift, a joy does reap
As parts of lost become restored

Emotions face does call thy name
As voice of angel’s song does sing
All wayward thoughts become the same
And beauty to the mind does bring

The inner shields fall far away
Releasing pure thought and sigh
The stress of once it fades away
And doubts of beauty say goodbye


How wonderful a gift to meet
To join ones soul and mind as one
To feel the height and soar the peek
To feel a warmth, then find the sun

Thanks Roniece, once again your visit was enjoyed, listening to Susan Boyle was wonderful, just seeing the expressions on the judges faces pulled the heart and soul strings, thanks again my friend.

What a lovely tribute! *S* And I think you've captured part of what has her reaching so many hearts... she's sharing the gift she's been granted. *S*

Dear suthern, great to see you here, it was amazing to listen to and to watch, the voice is an angel's and the expressions on the faces were unreal, I could watch it and watch it, makes one happy to be alive and to share such a moment.
Thank you for your reply my friend, love seeing you here.

Yes, Rick, her voice is a joy to hear and the light on her face is her beauty.  Thank you for recognizing a moment that seemed to remind us all that beauty is not always visible.

Dear Alison, great to see you here, to explain the feelings is not easy, beauty has many faces my friend, it is good to find one that smiles and offers more.
