His eyes twinkle in the night.
His hair so bright.
His personality so bold,
with the stories he told.
Up in Heaven he rose,
received a halo that glowed.
His soul became pure, very white and sure.
What a great man he was on Earth.
Now Heaven is his new birth.
So every night I look up at the stars,
and looking down at me, is the twinkle of his eyes.

She exemplifies her spiritual depth in this poem. She is a rare young person.

All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you\\\'re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you\\\'re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no\\\'s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes.
