Sweet Enduring Spirit
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

Born within this lifetime

For a journey grand and bold

With a spirit having witnessed

The greatest story ever told

 

Arising in a village

That would not otherwise be known

A jewel within a family

Whose love she knew not as her own

 

A world without a sense of safety

Without acceptance anywhere

Without freedom and compassion

With feelings she could never share

 

So many days of pain and sorrow

So many days of deep despair

What was the point of all of this

Can tragedy ever seem quite fair

 

But a life of suffering and survival

Is not her reason to be here

There is no place or need for her to hide

She can’t be stopped by doubt or fear

 

She is the beacon for the hopeless

All those who cannot see a way

For who she is for people

Expands the gift of life each day

 

Joy and contribution thrive

Wherever she may go

Love and self expression

Beyond what you ever thought you’d know

 

Her striking brilliant presence

Ignites the passion of the soul

The wonder of her gentle touch

Heals wounds so very old

 

Her voice resonates so deeply

In the hearts and minds of all

Lives forever altered

Miracles abounding great and small

 

Forever growing and evolving

Throughout eternal sands of time

Such a sweet enduring spirit

For this moment and all time
