Louise
Here on the shores of tranquility
a heart of true, sure knowing comes shining through.
Practical, determined and yet---
ethereal in its wings and wisdom.
Rays beaming us on and safely through,
with soft-lit smiles and gentle laughter.
Endearing and enduring,
while sprinkling us with feistiness,
close attentiveness
and all that loves and lasts.

an eternal friend.)
