her voice,
warm and sympathetic,
says “i’m here, i care”
without saying the words
and you know how much
she means it.

she carries herself
with captivating confidence
yet she wields
unwavering kindness
and compassion
towards everyone
she encounters.

she never yells
never hates or gossips
rather will stand in your shoes
and say “i understand”
and you can feel
that she truly does.

she speaks and writes her words
like no other,
expressing her thoughts
and crafting them
as if they were her last.

her smile, her laugh, her excitement,
it fills the room
and reaches everyone in it,
telling them that it’s okay,
to let go
and just live.
