A Poem for a Beautiful Lady

Caroline Meisner

This is a poem for a beautiful lady, Who has touched my heart in more ways that one. For the silent tears she cries when it’s raining For the radiant smile that sails towards the sun.

This is not a poem about a woman with cancer, This is not a poem about bending and breaking, This is not a poem about the disease inside her This is not a poem about fragile hands shaking. This poem describes the mother of the year, The way she lights up the world with a wink of the eye, How the tunes she plays sound crystal clear, How her music makes her feel as though she could fly. This is a poem about staying strong, For a beautiful woman playing a beautiful song.
