ELIZABETH

Enticingly your beautiful deep-blue eyes
Sparkle in the light of the golden sky
Sprinkling shimmering flecks of lapis lazuli
All over the grass as the sun gloriously rises.

Lovingly your smile touches every one you meet
And makes one dream of God`s earthly paradise
And as the birds with joyful songs the new day greet
The flowers seeing you gladly open to the butterflies.

Invitingly you show the way to Heaven's Gate
That leads to the pure waters of Eden's lake
Reminding us of the true delights that await
Those who though sinners their sins forsake.

Zealously you shower us with words of wisdom
Teaching us that life need not be mere suffering
And it's so good to live forever in God's Kingdom
Far from the sad thoughts that the nights bring.

Avidly you seek the pearls of sacred beauty
That are hidden in the heart's innermost core
For you know that oft beneath many a gully
Is to be found a treasure-trove, of gems a true galore!

Blessedly you speak of moments of sweet innocence
In days gone by and of the years that are to be
In words that soothe the tired soul in every sense
Spoken as they are so gently, so beautifully.

Enamour'd of all things bright and beauteous
You see nature through a prism of dancing lights
Filling your mind with ideas lofty and marvellous
And your inner being with heavenly sounds and sights.

Time has no constraints on you nor does it touch
The gossamer wings that lift you high in the sky
For you are God's favourite child and that by much:
You are the chosen one, the apple of His all-knowing eye.

Homeward-bound on this long and rocky knoll
You show us the easy turns, the lily-studded trails
And as closer and closer we come to our goal
We all smile for in your eyes we`ve seen the sacred vales!
