Jalena, Full of Grace
When I hear laughter,
It reminds me of you.
Full of life and resounding delight,
It gladdens the soul.
The heart it does capture.
When I see a smile on a pleasant face,
It reminds me of you.
Brightly, your smile appears.
Like the sun that emerges on a cloudy day,
It appears with light and grace.
When I hear a beating heart,
It reminds me of you.
A heart of love and care to share.
Where joy lives, despite the pain..
Where humor lives and does not depart.
When I hear a bird sing,
It reminds me of you.
Singing with all of its might,
Extolling its existence way up high.
Just like you, joy it does bring.
When I see an eagle in the sky,
It reminds me of you.
Full of grace and strength,
It will soar with the wind.
Way up high, it majestically fly.
Yet, I know of the storms you have gone through.
A storm of heartache, pain, disappointments and sickness.
Of a tiny loved one that is gone home,
Who lives in heaven and waits for you.
You are a blessing in all that you do.

To my niece, Jalena. You are unique in your own person. Always happy and fully of grace. The peace keeper, the fixer upper and the shoulder to cry on. The daughter, the big sister, the mother and the wife. I love you.
