I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Ode to Mariel

You are known in hearted wholeness.
You are felt in warm-lit passageways.
You are seen in sparkling wonderment.
You are heard in life's own music.
You are found in hope and joy.

You are treasured in your treasures.
You are shining, sparkling crystals.
You are humor wrapped in faith.
You are courage and mind reaching.
You are grace and you are light.

You are wonder.
You are you!
