Life
by Susan MacAloney
The beauty of life
The softness of your skin
The fragrance of your hair
Speak to me
The summit of you
The thunder of your cry
The rhythm of your voice
Speaks to me
The strength of your will
The taste of your honesty
The trail of your life
They speak to me
And my heart soars with love for you.
