Poem: Ode

you are the kindest
person i know      your
mind is sharp       your
heart is big           you
understand me 
better than i’ll
ever know.

you make me
proud every day    just
to think of you
your spirit the 
guide for our
family                  your
soul is 
captain of the ship. 

you are the
world to me          you
opened your arms,
your mind and
your heart.

you have the mind
of an artist.
 

and your soul
is your art.
