Guardian of her Heart
30 September 2006

There once was a girl
the most beautiful Canadian alive
Of those men who saw her,
crazy her awesomely stunning
looks would drive

She was Ontario
as Ontario never was
She was Kitchener,
her place of birth
She was heaven, an angel,
she was a Goddess,
in every way of worth

More than a girl
a woman to grow tall
Yet men did not always
give her their respect
because she made them
feel lower in ways of small

Her heart was big, her soul
not always free or given that
of resonance. God created her,
because she was his angel
This guardian of her heart

For she knew this was life
and giving and forgiving
was for her, a price, never
too great in ways to pay
God's belittled angel,
the one who would, find
her true love some day
