She smelt like warm amber
and Jasmine blossoms
Her smile crafted with beauty
and love
Her walk filled with
confidence and joy
Her pain folded and shoved
down in her pockets and
sealed from her lips
because she believed not
talking about it meant
she was strong.
Her hands could
feed many
while her tongue
had the power to
encourage any
that fell at her doorstep
broken-hearted
She is just love, humanity
and kindness
wrapped in one body
