Sweet Lady

Her smile, you just have to behold

the secrets it guards so well

the answers to questions of old

but you know that she'll never tell

her laughter, is like the songs of a bird

delighting nature as it rings

the most wonderful sound I ever heard

to my own lips, a smile...it brings

Her manners, they are a wonder

against the rudest of type

she serenely smiles at their thunder

knowing that its really all hype

to her heart she's known to pull many

and hold them as near as they need

yet lets them go without any

selfishness, clinging or greed

A marvel, she is, in my eyes..

a model of what 'woman' should be

strong, yet soft and so wise

and controlling her own destiny

her four legged friends know her heart

they respect her for all that she does

they cherish the care that is part

of being who she always was

Lovely lady, I beg you continue

on your journey as we walk along

to amuse me with wit and with wisdom

and your ability to make me feel strong
