lady of the desert
master of the brushes
and the pen
painting the canvases of hearts and minds
 
strong spirited woman
lover of God
and of man
holding up the poor with love
 
winsome Christian warrior
giving thanks for life
and joy
spreading faith unquenchable
 
your star
shining like a beacon on the beach
has moved to heaven
but left its light
through words of grace
and colors of the seas and skies and lands
to shine on here
