her walk has not always been an easy one there have been many detours and things that have stood in her path but she has always prevailed the shield of honor giving her strength when no one else would even when the holder of that shield departed this plane it still protected her showed her the way gave her the will to go on she still longs and so the light has led her here given her new power the power of her words the strength of her heart the knowledge of her soul in these and in other beings she grows again she lives again she loves again and now she is ready ready to hold the shield ---------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I do not know this poet that well, but you have added insight to the lady, and her shield... and you did it so admirably... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Lovely Sven, I am sure Marina will appreciate this, a wonderful tribute Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |
