Kindness showed herself today;
Her form was you incarnate,
Her presence kept my fears at bay,
With bravery of garnet.

She spoke to me with gilded voice
And explained to me the world
"In living we must all rejoice"
Her wisdom thus unfurled.

Beauty showed herself today,
And would you know- she was you!
She smiled and then the sky of grey
Changed swiftly into blue.

I asked her what she thought of me
And thought, too, of my kin
Her eyes then crinkled wistfully
She chuckled, 'Where do I begin?'

"Onto this Earth I bore you all;
The noise you made was frightful!
And every day I've loved you since
Has grown more and more delightful."

Music played so clear today
An artful composition!
Not Mozart, Korngold or Bizet;
No– this was your cognition.

The magnitude, of this, your song
Brought flowers to bloom around us.
The springtime breeze did play along,
Invoking melody susurrus.

You sang Golden Finch on Silver Birch,
Rosey-breasted Grosbeak,
Tiny Long-tailed Tit on perch
all dancing cheek to cheek.

You're joy and motion,
Love and silence,
Kindness, quelling news of violence.
You're everything admiring;
To you I am aspiring.
