Dedicated To My Sister,
Carolyn Johnson

Eminent Hand placed you on unassuming floor,
Far and wide opening providential door...
Launched astounding wonder
No earthling can fittingly ponder,
Sending all into raptures over this amazing sight,
To see the light of love
Brought a calm, bright-eyed, in an instant, cherished dove;
Unveiled in fathomless superiority,
A soul patterned life on His generosity.
Benevolent Heaven bestowed luminous star brought from afar
With a giant-like heart, nourishing spirit on sustaining
Bread of God, discerning entire world is not worthy of thought;
And being unfocused on the Majesty of the Lord
Is escaping from bounty, and "stealing" from Him thought;
Aiming tender feelings what His Passion has brought.
Receiver of exaltation, golden trust in supernal restoration,
Her illuminating nobility stretches out in honorable humility.
Prudent, thanks to edifying self-giving,
Bestowed reward of calm living.
Self-imposed gem of privation... of dignified habitation...
Zealous sufferer for the Highest Good,
Receiver of exalted privilege and divine food.
Fervent recipient of suffering high honor
For the unsurpassed Victim and Donor.
Farsighted in glorification of the Cross,
Sagacious in grasping that embracer of cross
Is devout embracer of the supremacy of Love...

Soul walking in the Light
Cannot grow weary,
Nothing is formidable and toilsome
For a steadfast giver...
No rough ground,
No thorny, intimidating terrain
For she is bound
Unbendingly to the King's reign.
