She’s got a heart of gold<\/p>\n
She also thinks pieces of rainbows fall from the sky on sunny days<\/p>\n
Her touch is a cotton sheet, her sight a floating swan, she hears as a smile sharing joy, tastes as one hungering for truth and smells as a flower<\/p>\n
She sees the colour blue and the shape of her lifelong love when music grazes her ears<\/p>\n
Her poise is as Athena in ancient Greece<\/p>\n
Her heart is streaked not golden<\/p>\n
The skies are grey, where has this darkness come from?<\/p>\n
How cheeky she can be!<\/p>\n
She says each time she frowns a drop of rain falls from above<\/p>\n
And when it does, these words are her refrain, ‘Ca va bien!’<\/p>\n
A whispering mouth speaks of bravery<\/p>\n
She stares at the vertical horizon<\/p>\n
As her feet are lifted and she soars as a bird<\/p>\n
Shea, her confidante, she knew her gifts were beyond the given<\/p>\n
There will be a time others will see, she will share her sense of knowing<\/p>\n
Like a flattened cloud no longer floating<\/p>\n
And they’ll declare, ‘I love how strawberries float in the sky!’<\/p>\n
Quietly she will say,’Je suis enfin a ma place!’<\/p>\n
She makes the mountains hum<\/p>\n
And the blue appears to open only for her<\/p>\n
