Serenity writes and writes, for every single hour
Unaware that in her sights she's writing words of power

Power to show things as they are, power to make amends
Power to shine as a star, power to gather friends

Power to right the wrong for she… writes in vivid poetry
Power to help keep back the night, power exposed within her write

Power unleashed serene and free, is Serenity with her pen
Power to hold in shelter's lee until the sun can shine again

Wherever she wields power of control, she stems the tide of grief
Powered write to make one whole, power to bring relief

Power to ward and power to save, raise the dead from its grave
Power of life that shines anew, every-time she writes for you

In her write through everyday, she shows her power song
Helping folk in the melee, her words will help to make them strong

Power to heal and hold in hurt, while accepting grace
Power to go on when by pain girt, power expressed upon her face

But this the greatest mystery, from the soft Serenity
She does not see the power she wields, she only sees a heart that yields.



Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen.

You mean she has the whole world in her hands and doesn't even know it.  Good thing her heart is so wonderfully sweet or we would all be in alot of trouble.  Wonderful write to someone MUCH deserving of a tribute.

Am I loved by my words
Will my vows weather the tide
Bended knees can forsee
all the rhythms of life
And a heart can be held without pride

Mark,
I do believe you're right...she doesn't know it and she is sweet isn't she.

Janet Marie,
you snuck in on me thanks for quoting back my favourite lines.

Be well and tell
